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

By Thomas Wallace Wright

Book Overview

""Elements of Mechanics"" is a comprehensive textbook written by Thomas Wallace Wright in 1906. The book covers the fundamental principles of mechanics, including kinematics, kinetics, and statics. It is designed to provide a clear and concise introduction to the subject for students of engineering and physics. The book begins with an overview of the basic concepts of motion, including displacement, velocity, and acceleration. It then delves into the study of forces and their effects on motion, including friction, gravity, and the laws of motion. The section on statics covers the equilibrium of forces and moments, as well as the analysis of structures such as trusses and beams.Throughout the book, Wright provides numerous examples and applications of the concepts presented, including problems related to machinery, bridges, and other engineering structures. The text is accompanied by numerous diagrams and illustrations to aid in understanding.Overall, ""Elements of Mechanics"" is a valuable resource for students and professionals in the fields of engineering and physics, providing a solid foundation in the principles of mechanics and their practical applications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
