Elements Of Mechanics: Including Kinematics, Kinetics And Statics, With Applications (1906)

""Elements of Mechanics: Including Kinematics, Kinetics and Statics, with Applications"" is a comprehensive textbook on the principles of mechanics, written by Thomas Wallace Wright and first published in 1906. The book covers the fundamental concepts of motion, force, and energy, as well as their applications in various fields, including engineering, physics, and mathematics. The first part of the book focuses on kinematics, the study of motion without considering its causes, and covers topics such as velocity, acceleration, and circular motion. The second part of the book covers kinetics, the study of the causes of motion, and includes discussions of Newton's laws of motion, work and energy, and momentum. The final part of the book covers statics, the study of forces in equilibrium, and includes discussions of forces acting on rigid bodies and the analysis of trusses and beams. Throughout the text, the author provides numerous examples and applications of the principles of mechanics, making the book a valuable resource for students and professionals in a variety of fields. The book is written in a clear and concise style, with numerous diagrams and illustrations to aid in understanding the concepts presented. Overall, ""Elements of Mechanics"" is a classic text on the principles of mechanics, and remains a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the fundamental laws that govern motion and force in the physical world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
