The Principles of Mechanics as Applied to the Solar System, written by Robert P. Traxler in 1889, is a comprehensive guide to the laws of mechanics and their application to the study of the solar system. The book covers the fundamental principles of mechanics, including Newton's laws of motion, the conservation of energy, and the principles of gravitation. Traxler then applies these principles to the study of the solar system, discussing the motions of the planets, the moon, and other celestial bodies. The book also includes detailed discussions of the various types of orbits, the effects of perturbations on planetary motion, and the calculation of the positions of the planets at any given time. Written in a clear and concise style, The Principles of Mechanics as Applied to the Solar System is an essential resource for anyone interested in the mechanics of the solar system and the mathematical principles that govern it.Showing By Radiating Lines The Manner In Which The Forces Of The Sun Are Applied To The Planets And The Manner In Which The Forces Of The Sun And Planets Emanate From Themselves.
