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 study of rigid dynamics, which is the branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of rigid bodies. The book begins with an overview of the basic concepts and principles of rigid dynamics, including the laws of motion, the kinematics of rigid bodies, and the concept of angular velocity. It then goes on to explore more advanced topics such as the dynamics of rotating bodies, the motion of gyroscopes, and the stability of rotating systems.Throughout the book, Worthington uses clear and concise language to explain complex concepts, making it accessible to readers with a basic understanding of mathematics and physics. The book also includes numerous diagrams and illustrations to help readers visualize the concepts being discussed.Overall, ""Dynamics of Rotation"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of mechanics, and it remains a valuable reference for students and professionals alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
