Excerpt from Elementary Treatise on Mechanics
The term subtile matter has been applied to the agents which cause the phenomena of electricity, heat, 850.
Though evidently closely connected with the development of forces, we as yet only know some of the properties and laws of the effects of these' agents upon dense matter. Whenever the term matter is used in Mechanics, it is understood to mean what is called above dense matter. The quantity of matter in a body is measured by its inaptitude to receive motion (inertia) when acted on by a given force; and is proportional to the weight at the same place on the Earth's surface. So that a body of two, three, 850. Pounds weight contains twice, thrice, 850. Respectively the matter that a body of one pound does.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Exploring the fundamental principles of statics and dynamics, this book serves as a guide to understanding the forces that govern the motion and equilibrium of physical systems. Its systematic approach and clear explanations make it accessible to students and practitioners alike. The author presents foundational concepts such as force, mass, velocity, and energy, establishing a solid understanding of the interplay between these elements. Delving into practical applications, the book examines the behavior of bodies in equilibrium, addressing concepts like the center of gravity and the conditions for stable and unstable equilibrium. It also analyzes the motion of objects under the influence of various forces, including friction and gravity, providing valuable insights into real-world phenomena. Through numerous examples and problems, the author reinforces the theoretical concepts and encourages readers to apply their knowledge to practical scenarios. This book empowers readers with a comprehensive understanding of statics and dynamics, equipping them to tackle complex problems and gain a deeper appreciation of the mechanics that shape our physical world.
