A Collection of Problems in Illustration of the Principles of Theoretical Mechanics (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Collection of Problems in Illustration of the Principles of Theoretical Mechanics

IN the Third Edition of the Mechanical Problems the whole Work has been carefully revised, and all errors, which have been pointed out to the author or detected by himself, have been corrected. Some of the matter of the last edition has been cancelled, and the Treatise has been enriched by the addition of a considerable number of new problems, taken principally, when not assigned to their authors, from the examination papers proposed in the various Colleges of the University of Cam bridge, in the senate-house for the Mathematical Tripos, and to the candidates for the Smith's Prizes. Several additional classes of Problems, in illustration of various Theorems, might have been introduced into the Work with advantage: the bulk of the Book would however have been thereby increased beyond the limits within which it would seem expedient to confine it.
