Publisher's Synopsis
""Elements Of Physical Manipulation, Part 2"" is a book written by Edward Charles Pickering and first published in 1876. This book is the second part of a two-part series that focuses on the physical manipulation of objects. The author covers a wide range of topics related to physical manipulation, including the principles of mechanics, the properties of matter, and the laws of motion. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific topic related to physical manipulation. The first chapter provides an overview of the principles of mechanics, including force, work, and power. The second chapter focuses on the properties of matter, including density, elasticity, and viscosity. The third chapter covers the laws of motion, including Newton's laws of motion and the conservation of momentum. The fourth chapter is devoted to the study of friction, including the different types of friction and their effects on motion. The fifth chapter covers the principles of hydrostatics, including the pressure and buoyancy of fluids. The sixth chapter focuses on the principles of hydraulics, including the use of fluids to transmit force. The book also includes several appendices that provide additional information on topics such as the measurement of force, the properties of gases, and the use of machines in physical manipulation. Overall, ""Elements Of Physical Manipulation, Part 2"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles of physical manipulation and is an essential resource for anyone interested in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
