Excerpt from Mechanics: An Elementary Text-Book Theoretical and Practical
I believe it to be desirable that a student should commence the study of Mechanics With Kinematics and Kinetics, and 'have therefore arranged the book on this plan. At the same time it Will, I hope, be found that the Statics is in great measure independent of the other part of the subject, though at the cost of some repetition. It will be possible therefore for a teacher to take it before the Kinematics.
In the Third Part some of the simple experimental laws of Hydrostatics are discussed and explained.
The book has grown considerably beyond the limits of my lectures, though it is by no means a complete treatise on Elementary Mechanics still I h0pe it may prove useful as an introduction to the subject.

Excerpt from Mechanics: An Elementary Text-Book Theoretical and Practical
It has now come to be generally recognized that the most satisfactory method of teaching the Natural Sciences is by experiments which can be performed by the learners themselves. In consequence many teachers have arranged for their pupils courses of practical instruction designed to illustrate the fundamental principles of the subject they teach. The portions of the following book designated Experiments have for the most part been in use for some time as a Practical Course for Medical Students at the Cavendish Laboratory.
The rest of the book contains the explanation of the theory of those experiments, and an account of the deductions from them. This part has grown out of my lectures to the same class. It has been my object in the lectures to void elaborate apparatus and to make the whole as pie as possible.

Mechanics: An Elementary Text-Book Theoretical and Practical (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by the Assistant Director of the Cavendish Laboratory, is an elementary text on the principles of mechanics written with the aim of teaching the subject in a practical manner. As the author states in the preface, the most satisfactory way to learn mechanics is by performing experiments oneself. It is with this in mind that he has written the majority of the chapters, beginning with fundamental quantities such as length and mass before moving into a discussion of kinematics - the geometry of motion and its representation on graphs. The author has also included a series of thought experiments and exercises to test the reader's comprehension of the material discussed. One of the major themes of the book is the concept of the rate of change and how it can be used to describe motion with varying velocity. The author uses this concept to introduce some of the more advanced ideas of mechanics, such as Force, Energy, and Momentum which will be covered in later volumes. As such, this book will be of interest both to students of mechanics and those who wish to learn more about the historical development of the subject. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330426845_0
