A rchimedes, and occupied the attention of the most celebrated Mathematicians of many centuries, much new matter cannot be expected. Little more now remains to be done than to collect, arrange, and simplify the results already obtained; this therefore is the task I proposed to myself, in undertaking the preparation of the following treatise onS tatics. That a treatise was necessary, which should present the subject under one continuous chain of reasoning, with a uniform system of notation, and having its several parts dependent on the same first principles and definitions, will not I think be denied. In what degree, however, the present vill supply the ant of such a, treatise, must now be left to the public to rmine. The Jir-t chapter commenceuith MHIIC i.il notions of mech.mieal force.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide to statics, the science concerned with forces acting on stationary rigid bodies. Static principles are essential for understanding physical phenomena at all scales, from the behaviour of inanimate objects to the mechanics of living beings. The author begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of mechanics, including force, motion, and energy. Subsequent chapters delve into the composition and resolution of forces, the concept of equilibrium, and more advanced topics such as couples and the center of gravity. The book's clear explanations, illustrative examples, and insightful discussions provide a thorough grounding in the principles of statics. By mastering these principles, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the physical world and its mechanical workings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
