A Treatise Of Mechanics V2: Theoretical, Practical, And Descriptive (1815)

A Treatise of Mechanics Volume 2 is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of mechanics written by Olinthus Gilbert Gregory and originally published in 1815. The book is divided into three parts: theoretical, practical, and descriptive. The theoretical section covers the fundamental laws of mechanics, including motion, force, and energy. The practical section focuses on the application of these laws to real-world problems, such as the motion of projectiles and the dynamics of machines. The descriptive section provides a detailed overview of various mechanical systems and their components, such as gears, pulleys, and levers. Throughout the book, Gregory employs a clear and concise writing style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of mechanics. This volume is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of mechanics and its practical applications.Containing Remarks On The Nature, Construction, And Simplification Of Machinery, On Friction, Rigidity Of Cords, First Movers, Etc.
