An Elementary Treatise on Statics Paperback

Description

Preface: -THE present work is a companion book to my Dynamics of a Particle and of Rigid Bodies. It is meant to cover the usual course of Statics for Students who are reading for & Degree in Science or Engineering, and for Junior Students for Mathematical Honours. The book starts with the elementary Principles of the subject, but a Student would profit more by its use if he had previously read some elementary work, such as my Elements of Statica. A knowledge of the ordinary processes of the Differential and Integral Calculus is assumed, and also, in some articles, of the notions of Solid Geometry.
