Popular passages
Page 7 - ... a body, as in the case of gravity; but it is usual to begin by discussing the action of forces applied to a single particle, in which case each force is supposed to act along a mathematical straight line, and the particle or material point to which it is applied is called its point of application. A force is completely specified when its magnitude, its point of application, and its line of action are all given.
Page 220 - Why the image is seen as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
Page 19 - ... that the resultant of any two forces having the same direction is a single force in the same direction, equal in magnitude to the sum of the component forces, with its line of action in the same plane with, and between the lines of action of these forces, and distant from the line of action of each iu the inverse proportion of the magnitudes of these forces.
Page 16 - Distinguish a push or a pull from a twist, torsion from tension or compression, according to the displacement produced. D. 5 and 6. 2.* State the effect of two equal and opposite forces applied at the points, A and B, at right angles with the line, AB, in an elastic medium. 3.* What combination of forces is necessary to produce a twist ? 4. What name is given to a pair of equal and opposite forces having different lines of action ? to any combination of forces producing a twist ? D. 26, 27. 5. Define...
Page 4 - What relation exists by definition between the direction of the force and the direction of the displacement which it produces in a homogeneous elastic medium...
Page 70 - Show that the weight of an overflow beaker is not increased when a suspended solid is immersed in it. Prob. 15. J Show that a vessel (without overflow), into which a suspended solid is immersed, gains in weight by an amount equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the solid. Prob. 16.* Prove (by considering the weight of a solid, as borne partly by its suspension, and partly by the vessel in which it is immersed) that the loss of weight of a body on immersion must necessarily be equal to the gain...
Page 38 - Show that the work done by a force in producing a given displacement may be measured (i) by the product of the displacement and the component of the force in the direction of the displacement...
Page 109 - W . where y is the ratio of the specific heat of air at constant pressure to that at constant volume.
Page 38 - W done by this agent, while the body undergoes a displacement x, is defined as the product of the displacement and the component of the force in the direction of the displacement.
Page 23 - If several forces which do not balance act in the same plane upon different points of a solid body one point of which is fixed, what condition must be fulfilled in order that the body may be in equilibrium? Show that this condition cannot be...
