Synopsis :

PREFACE.
SO many questions which necessarily excite our interest and
curiosity are discussed in the dynamics of a particle that
this subject has always been a favourite one with students. How.
for example, is it that by observing the motion of a pendulum we
can tell the time of the rotation of the earth, or knowing this,
hov,' is it that we can deduce the latitude of the place? Vhy does
our eat·th travel round the sun in an ellipse a.nd what would be
the path if the law of gravitation were different? Would any
other law give a closed orbit so that our planet might (if
undisturbed) repeat the same path continually? Is there a
resisting medium which ,j's ·~1~wlY· but continually bringing our
orbit nearer to the sun? Vhat ,yould be the path of a particle
in a system of two centres of force? Vhen a comet passes close
to a planet does it carry with it in its new orbit some tokens
to prove its identity?
Such problems as these (which are merely examples) excite
our cu
