Overview

Excerpt from The Dynamics of Particles and of Rigid, Elastic, and Fluid Bodies: Being Lectures on Mathematical Physics The second part is devoted to the Motion of Rigid Bodies, particularly to their rotation, a matter of the greatest importance practically, especially to the engineer, but one which is often avoided by the physical student. To this subject Maxwell again called the attention of physicists, and created a charming instrumental demonstration in his celebrated Dynamical Top. To this the writer has ventured to add a Small detail, which permits of a number of interesting additional verifications. A number of practical illustrations, of interest to the physicist and engineer, are also included. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
