Mechanics And Hydrostatics - Sidney Luxton Loney - Bog

Mechanics and Hydrostatics: For Beginners is a book written by Sidney Luxton Loney and first published in 1907. The book is intended for beginners who are interested in learning the basics of mechanics and hydrostatics. It provides a comprehensive introduction to these two fields of study, covering topics such as force, motion, energy, momentum, fluid mechanics, and buoyancy. The book is divided into two sections, with the first section covering mechanics and the second section covering hydrostatics. In the mechanics section, Loney explains the fundamental principles of mechanics, including Newton's laws of motion, work, energy, and power. He then goes on to discuss the motion of particles and rigid bodies, circular motion, and simple harmonic motion. In the hydrostatics section, Loney explains the basic principles of fluid mechanics, including pressure, Pascal's law, Archimedes' principle, and Bernoulli's principle. He then goes on to discuss the properties of fluids, such as viscosity and surface tension, and the behavior of fluids in motion. The book also includes a number of exercises and problems to help readers test their understanding of the material.Overall, Mechanics and Hydrostatics: For Beginners is a clear and concise introduction to the fields of mechanics and hydrostatics. It is written in a straightforward style that is easy to understand, making it an ideal resource for students and anyone interested in learning the basics of these two important areas of study.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
