Lessons On Rigid Dynamics (1875)

Lessons On Rigid Dynamics is a book written by George Pirie and published in 1875. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of rigid dynamics, which is the study of the motion and forces of rigid bodies. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a specific topic related to rigid dynamics. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts of rigid dynamics, including the definition of a rigid body, the principles of motion, and the laws of motion. Subsequent chapters cover topics such as the moment of inertia, angular velocity, and angular acceleration. The book also includes discussions on the dynamics of rotating bodies, the motion of particles in a plane, and the theory of gyroscopes. Throughout the book, Pirie provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts covered. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of mechanics.Overall, Lessons On Rigid Dynamics is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the principles of rigid dynamics and their applications in engineering and physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
