Pagina 25 - Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far as it may be compelled by impressed forces to change that state.
Pagina 26 - Change of motion is proportional to the impressed force and takes place in the direction of the straight line in which the force acts.
Pagina 5 - All these things considered [that is, the chemical facts he had just recited], it seems probable to me that God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties and in such proportion to space as most conduced to the end for which He formed them...
Pagina 5 - All these things being considered, it seems probable to me that God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, moveable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties and in such proportion to space as most conduced to the end for which he formed them; and that these primitive particles being solids are incomparably harder than any porous bodies compounded of them, even so very hard as never to wear or break in pieces, no ordinary power being able to...
Pagina 27 - To every action there is always an equal and contrary reaction ; or the mutual actions of any two bodies are always equal and oppositely directed.

Pagina 50 - The centre of gravity of a body is that point in which the whole weight may be supposed to act^ or is the centre of parallel forces due to the weights of the respective parts of the body.
Pagina 219 - A 1o-inch shaft has a 4-inch hole run through it ; what fraction of its weight is removed ? To what extent is its strength in resisting torsion affected ? Ans. 16 per cent. 2'56 per cent. 29. In the transmission of power by a rope, the wheel carrying the rope is 14 feet in diameter and makes 30 revolutions per minute, the tension of the rope being 100 Ibs. Find the amount of power transmitted, as estimated in horse-power. Ans. 4 HP 30.
Pagina 209 - Ibs. 3. A compound axle consists of 2 parts, the diameters being 10 and 12 inches respectively, and a rope is coiled round them in opposite directions so as to form a 'loop, upon which hangs a pulley loaded to 48 Ibs. Considering the parts of the rope to be vertical, find the force which, acting at a leverage of 4 feet upon the axle, will just balance the weight. Sketch the arrangement. Ans.
