The Elements Of Statics And Dynamics (1902) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163955215)

The Elements of Statics and Dynamics is a comprehensive textbook written by S. L. Loney and originally published in 1902. The book provides a thorough introduction to the principles of both statics and dynamics, which are essential branches of classical mechanics. The first part of the book covers statics, which deals with the study of bodies at rest or in equilibrium. The author explains the basic concepts of force, moment, and equilibrium, and goes on to discuss the applications of these principles in various scenarios, such as beams, trusses, and frames. The book also includes chapters on friction, virtual work, and stability of equilibrium.The second part of the book focuses on dynamics, which deals with the study of motion and its causes. The author explains the fundamental concepts of velocity, acceleration, and force, and goes on to discuss the applications of these principles in various scenarios, such as projectiles, simple harmonic motion, and collisions. The book also includes chapters on work and energy, impulse and momentum, and central forces.Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts and apply them to real-world problems. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to students and professionals alike. Overall, The Elements of Statics and Dynamics is an important reference for anyone interested in classical mechanics and its applications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
