Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Dynamics: A d104-Book for Engineers Those who have had experience in teaching elementary dynamics to students of Engineering will agree that the majority find considerable difficulty in grasping the fundamental principles on which the subject is based. There are new physical quantities to be understood, and new principles to be accepted which can only be expressed in terms of these quantities. Unfortunately, in many cases, this subject has to be introduced at a stage of development in mathematics at which the student expects some proof of what he is told to believe. He is not so prepared to accept things without proof as he was when first told that 2 x 3 = 6. Even at that early stage, probably an attempt was made to prove to him that 2 x 3 = 6, yet, in the end, he merely accepted the fact and memorised it. The author believes that the difficulty experienced is partly, though by no means entirely, due to the way the subject is often presented. In the student's mind it is associated with branches of pure mathematics such as trigonometry, analytical geometry, or infinitesimal calculus, and he is inclined to think that salvation lies in memorising a number of formulae which are to be used in solving problems, instead of looking upon dynamics as a fundamental branch of physical science, in which mathematics is of secondary importance and the physical ideas of primary importance. Quite commonly in elementary text-books, the second law of motion is at first summed up in the form, force = mass x acceleration, and the student is then given a number of examples to work out, most of which consist in substituting numbers in a formula. This very successfully disguises the true meaning of momentum, and the extraordinary generality of the second law of motion. The same applies to problems dealing with motion. The student is generally presented with certain formulae for motion involving a constant acceleration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons in Elementary Dynamics It seems to be pretty generally agreed that some branch of Physics should form an early, if not the very earliest part of a scientific education, involving, as it does, an examination of those general and fundamental properties which all kinds of matter possess to a greater or less extent and by which we recognise things as being forms of matter. Of the various branches into which Physics is divided. Mechanics has an undoubted claim to the first place, from the simplicity and exactness of its laws, the readiness with which they can be demonstrated, and the multitude of practical illustrations of them which meet us on every side in the ordinary movements of life, in games, and in work. The study of Chemistry or of Electricity may be more amusing and attractive on account of the brilliant experiments associated with it, but the exact explanation of chemical and electrical phenomena is far less easy and far less certain than that of mechanical laws, and is, indeed, hardly within the grasp of minds previously untrained in scientific methods and ideas. An endeavour is made in this book to explain some of the properties of matter, Newtons Laws of Motion, and the modern conceptions of Energy and Work, in such a manner as involves only the most elementary knowledge of mathematics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Course in Elementary Dynamics The problems at the ends of various sections have been selected out of a card index which has been collected from various sources through a number of years. Few of them are original, but the sources from which they were obtained have been lost. The author is under deep obligation to his colleague Assistant Professor Arthur T. Jones who has read the entire proof and has pointed out several errors and rendered clear, many obscure passages. To Professor Jones is also due the entire section on wave motion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Dynamics of Particles and Solids Advantage has been taken of the call for a new edition to add a chapter on motion under central forces. This has been done at the request of teachers, so as to render the book useful to students preparing for examinations in which this subject is included. It is placed in an appendix with some additional matter which appeared desirable. The author has again to thank various correspondents who have made suggestions and corrections. He has especially to thank his friend and colleague Professor Leahy for valuable advice and help. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Elementary Dynamics In the following work I have attempted to write a fairly complete text-book on those parts of Dynamics which can be treated without the use of the Infinitesimal Calculus. The hook is intended for the use of beginners, but it is probable that most students would find it advisable, at any rate on the first reading of the subject, to confine their attention to the examples given in the text, reserving most of the questions at the ends of the chapters for a second reading. Most students would also find it advisable to omit Chap. III., the last four articles of Chap. IV., and Chap. IX., until the rest of the book has been fairly mastered. I have ventured to alter slightly the time-honoured enunciation of Newton's Second Law of Motion. I have used the property of the hodograph in the chapter on normal acceleration and in dealing with the motion of a particle in a conic section with an acceleration directed towards the focus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Rigid Dynamics This elementary treatise on Rigid Dynamics has arisen out of a course of lectures delivered by me, during the past few years, to advanced classes in the University. It is intended as a text-book for those who, having already mastered the elements of the Calculus and acquired some familiarity with the methods of Particle Dynamics, wish to become acquainted with the principles underlying the equations of motion of a solid body. Although indebted to the exhaustive works of Routh and Price for many suggestions and problems, I believe that the arrangement of the work, method of treatment, and more particularly the illustrations, are entirely new and original; and that they will not only aid beginners in appreciating fundamental truths, but will also point out to them the road along which they must travel in order to become intimate with those higher complex motions of a material system which have their culminating point in the region of Physical Astronomy. My thanks are due Mr. J. C. Glashan of Ottawa, who has kindly read the proofsheets and supplied me with a large collection of miscellaneous problems.
