Publisher's Synopsis
The Attraction Of The Himalaya Mountains Upon The Plumb-Line In India is a scientific book written by Sidney Gerald Burrard in 1901. The book explores the gravitational force exerted by the Himalayan mountain range on the plumb-line in India. Burrard, a British geologist and surveyor, conducted extensive experiments and measurements to determine the degree of attraction exerted by the Himalayas on the plumb-line. He also investigated the impact of this attraction on the accuracy of surveying and mapping in India. The book provides a detailed analysis of Burrard's findings and includes numerous charts, diagrams, and illustrations to explain the complex scientific concepts. The Attraction Of The Himalaya Mountains Upon The Plumb-Line In India is a valuable resource for scientists, geologists, surveyors, and anyone interested in the study of gravity and its effects on the earth's surface.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
