Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Physics, Designed for Use as a Textbook of General Physics When a man exerts his muscles in moving a body or in pushing or pulling a body which he cannot move, he is con scious of the exertion of force. In many cases, as when he bends a spring or sustains a weight, he interprets his sensa tion by saying, that the body against which he acts exerts a force in the opposite direction to the one which he is exerting and of equal magnitude. He further believes that the body, when in the same position or condition, is still exerting a force, even though he does not directly perceive the counter acting force. He thus feels willing to use bodies in certain conditions or positions as the means by which forces may be exerted. When a body is sustained in the air by the hand, the force exerted by the hand, as is shown by universal experience, is directed vertically upwards. The force which the body is assumed to exert in the opposite direction or vertically down wards, is called its weight. Universal experience has shown that the weight of a body depends on its size and on the material of which it is composed. If different bodies com posed of the same material and of equal volume are tested by A the hand, or.in any other way, it is found that their weights are equal. Two of these bodies will have the same weight as a body of the same material and of a volume double that of either one of them. By suitable. Combinations of equal weights, any one of which is selected as a unit, a scale of forces can be constructed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Physics IN addition to acknowledgments made in the text, the author desires to express his thanks to many who have assisted him in the preparation of this work; 1noie especial to Charles D. Jenkins, Massachusetts State Inspector of Gas Metres and Illuminating Gas, for suggestions in Photometry; to F. C. Morton, in Steam Engines and Friction; to N. H. Black, Rox bury Latin School, apparatus in Conjugate Foci; to I. O. Palmer, Newton High School, apparatus for Composition of Forces; the Westinghouse Air Brake Company, in Coefficient of Friction. Mr. I. O. Palmer and Mr. E. P. Churchill have read portions of the manuscript, and Mr. C. B. Hersey has read the manuscript and proofs of the entire book.

ISBN: 3642230261
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1069
Book Description
This textbook presents a basic course in physics to teach mechanics, mechanical properties of matter, thermal properties of matter, elementary thermodynamics, electrodynamics, electricity, magnetism, light and optics and sound. It includes simple mathematical approaches to each physical principle, and all examples and exercises are selected carefully to reinforce each chapter. In addition, answers to all exercises are included that should ultimately help solidify the concepts in the minds of the students and increase their confidence in the subject. Many boxed features are used to separate the examples from the text and to highlight some important physical outcomes and rules. The appendices are chosen in such a way that all basic simple conversion factors, basic rules and formulas, basic rules of differentiation and integration can be viewed quickly, helping student to understand the elementary mathematical steps used for solving the examples and exercises. Instructors teaching form this textbook will be able to gain online access to the solutions manual which provides step-by-step solutions to all exercises contained in the book. The solutions manual also contains many tips, coloured illustrations, and explanations on how the solutions were derived.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physics It will be seen as we proceed that in some parts of the subject the relations between observed facts are better understood than in other parts. Thus in Mechanics the relations between phe nomena have been so well ascertained that we are able to start from a few simple laws regarding the motions of bodies and from these deduce explanations of the most complicated motions. In other parts of the subject we must be content to take from time to time some one principle and trace the logical consequences of it as far as we can, and then proceed to do the same with other principles. After classifying and studying a group of facts, the procca by which we arrive at some underlying principle is called Induction. Thus, the principle of gravitation was discovered by Newton after a careful comparison of the motions of falling bodies and of the moon and the planets. Having found a general principle underlying and binding together many phenomena, we my reason forward from it and deduce other known or unknown facts, as in Geometry we deduce one proposition from another. This process is called Deduction. In a brief account of Physics we must necessarily use deductive more frequently than inductive methods; but, where space will permit, the efiort may be made to show how by induction important fundamental principles have been discovered.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Principles of Physics Following the thirty-two chapters covering the topics of the usual first course in Physics, there are additional chap ters treating special material of wide general interest and importance. These chapters deal with such subjects as the Automobile, Radio, Engines, Radium and Radioactivity, and Water Power, and should prove a valuable fund of material for the teacher who has more than the usual time allotment for the subject and to the student who desires to pursue topics that are of special interest to him.
