Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed account of research conducted to determine the impact of resistance on projectiles fired from guns. Prior to the work in this book, the law of resistance of the air to spherical projectiles was only determined for velocities between 900 and 1700 feet per second. However, the author's experiments expanded this knowledge to include velocities between 100 and 2800 feet per second. The author also recalculated previous tables for easier use and adapted the work to incorporate both French and English measures. The extensive experiments presented here were influential in the development of weaponry and ballistics and remain an essential reference for anyone interested in the history and science of projectiles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781527799226_0
