Hydrostatical And Pneumatical Lectures (1775)

By Roger Cotes

Book Overview

Hydrostatical and Pneumatical Lectures is a book written by Roger Cotes and originally published in 1775. The book is a collection of lectures on the topics of hydrostatics and pneumatics, which are branches of physics that deal with the behavior of fluids and gases, respectively. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part covering hydrostatics and the second part covering pneumatics. In the hydrostatics section, Cotes discusses the properties of fluids at rest, including their density, pressure, and buoyancy. He also explores the principles of hydrostatic equilibrium and the behavior of fluids in containers of different shapes and sizes.In the pneumatics section, Cotes delves into the properties of gases, including their pressure, temperature, and volume. He discusses the behavior of gases in different states, such as compressed and expanded, and explores the principles of gas laws and the behavior of gases in different environments.Throughout the book, Cotes uses clear and concise language to explain complex scientific concepts, making it accessible to both students and scholars of physics. Hydrostatical and Pneumatical Lectures is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of fluids and gases and their behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
