Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed scholarly analysis of the complex problem of calculating the trajectory of a projectile factoring in the resistance caused by the air. Before the publication of this book, the problem had baffled the minds of even the greatest scientific thinkers throughout history. The author has sought to demystify the subject, laying out a geometrical series to express a projectile's range, explaining how to find the retardation, initial velocity, and range of a gun, and how to determine the angle of fall and final velocity of a projectile. The author's insights have laid the groundwork for more accurate and efficient gunnery practices, which would become critically important in military and naval engagements in the years to come.
