Excerpt from Mechanical Geometry: An Application to Geometry of Some Propositions in Statics
In the equations of point: (chapter and of forces (chapter I have extended the meaning of the sign of equality; in them it means equivalence. In Chapter II. And the following ones, multiplication often signifies juxtaposition of the capital letters.
I have explained and exemplified, in the first eight chapters, some of the processes by which equa tions of forces, of distances, and of areas, can be derived from equations of points. In Chapers II., VI., IX., X. Will be found the method of the separation of the letters which define either a force, or a distance, or an area. The magnitude of a line is easily ascertained by the processes of Chapters VII. And VIII. Chapters XI. And XII. Contain the application of the preceding ones to the Areal Equations of the Straight Line and Circle. An equation involving one variable only, can be obtained, representing a straight line when of the first degree, a conic when of the second degree, a cubic when of the third, and so on. Moreover, most of the propositions in this book are actually true for a System of Points in Space, the others being readily made so, by changing in their enunciations, right lines into planes, areas into volumes, and circles into spheres. These and other further applications of the Mechanical Geometry I have in manuscript.
