Elementary Applied Mechanics, Part 2 (1883)

Elementary Applied Mechanics, Part 2 is a book written by Thomas Alexander, first published in 1883. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of applied mechanics, specifically focusing on the topics of dynamics, hydrostatics, and pneumatics. It is intended for students and engineers who want to gain a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of mechanics and their practical applications.The book is divided into three main sections, each covering a different area of applied mechanics. The first section, on dynamics, covers topics such as force, momentum, energy, and the laws of motion. The second section, on hydrostatics, deals with the behavior of fluids at rest, including pressure, buoyancy, and fluid statics. The third section, on pneumatics, covers the properties and behavior of gases, including gas laws, compressibility, and the behavior of gases in containers.Throughout the book, Alexander uses clear and concise language to explain complex concepts and principles. He provides numerous examples and problems to help readers understand and apply the material. The book also includes detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the concepts being discussed.Overall, Elementary Applied Mechanics, Part 2 is a valuable resource for students and engineers who want to develop a solid foundation in the principles of applied mechanics. It is a classic work that has stood the test of time and continues to be a useful reference for anyone interested in this field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
