Publisher's Synopsis
""Dynamics of Rotation: An Elementary Introduction to Rigid Dynamics"" is a book written by Arthur Mason Worthington and originally published in 1902. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of rigid dynamics, focusing specifically on the dynamics of rotation. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of rigid dynamics. The first chapter provides an overview of the basic principles of mechanics, including force, mass, and acceleration. The second chapter introduces the concept of rotation and describes the various types of motion that can occur in a rotating body.Subsequent chapters explore topics such as the moment of inertia, the conservation of angular momentum, and the dynamics of gyroscopes. The book also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers better understand the concepts presented.Overall, ""Dynamics of Rotation"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about rigid dynamics and the principles of rotation. While the book was originally published over a century ago, its clear and concise explanations remain relevant and useful for modern readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
