Excerpt from A Revised Account of the Experiments Made With the Bashforth Chronograph, to Find the Resistance of the Air Motion of Projectiles: With the Application of the Results to the Calculation of Trajectories According to J. Bernoulli's Method
I have already mentioned, that in very great changes of velocity, the resistance does not accurately follow the duplicate proportion of the velocity. But how much this variation amounts to, and how it is adapted to the different velocities of the resisted body; it is not easy nicely to ascertain. However.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed account of research conducted to determine the impact of resistance on projectiles fired from guns. Prior to the work in this book, the law of resistance of the air to spherical projectiles was only determined for velocities between 900 and 1700 feet per second. However, the author's experiments expanded this knowledge to include velocities between 100 and 2800 feet per second. The author also recalculated previous tables for easier use and adapted the work to incorporate both French and English measures. The extensive experiments presented here were influential in the development of weaponry and ballistics and remain an essential reference for anyone interested in the history and science of projectiles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
