Rudimentary Mechanics Being A Concise Exposition Of The General Principles Of Mechanical Science And Their Applications By Charles Tomlinson PDF Download

Excerpt from Rudimentary Mechanics: Being a Concise Exposition of the General Principles of Mechanical Science and Their Applications The sale Of the previous Editions Of this Work, con sisting each Of Oopies, within a limited period, is a sufficient proof that a demand has long existed for a cheap popular treatise on Mechanics, in which the peculiar difficulties Of the subject should be fairly met instead Of being slurred over; and, as far as could be done with the merest elements of Mathematics, made intelligible to the non-professional reader. The third and fourth parts, devoted to Hydrostatics and Hydrodynamics, are very brief. This could only have been remedied by One of two methods - either by encroaching on the space devoted to the considera tion Of Statics and Dynamics, or by extending this volume beyond seven sheets, thereby enhancing the price. The writer considers that the adoption of either Of these methods would have greatly injured the utility Of the work.
