Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an important historical volume offering a deep dive into 18th century understandings of the mechanical universe. The viewpoint of this work is to speculate upon mechanics according to known physical phenomena and mathematical laws. The author posits through mathematical equations that all particles of matter are attracted to each other in direct proportion to their mass and in inverse proportion to the square of the distance between them. Through the application of these equations, he investigates the motions of the planets and their satellites in great detail, leading to a greater understanding of forces, accelerations, trajectories, the invariability of angular momentum, and the conservation of vis viva. The topics of rigid body dynamics and viscous fluid dynamics are also covered. This book represents a significant step forward in our understanding of the laws of motion and the foundations of classical mechanics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
