Publisher's Synopsis
Newton's Laws of Motion is a book written by Peter Guthrie Tait in 1899. The book is an in-depth exploration of the three laws of motion formulated by Sir Isaac Newton. Tait, a Scottish physicist and mathematician, provides a comprehensive analysis of each law and their practical applications. The first law, also known as the law of inertia, is explained in detail, with Tait discussing the concept of mass and the effects of external forces on objects. The second law, which deals with the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, is also thoroughly examined. Tait provides numerous examples and mathematical equations to help readers understand the principles behind the law. The third law, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, is explored in the context of various physical phenomena, including collisions and the motion of fluids. Throughout the book, Tait emphasizes the importance of experimental evidence in understanding the laws of motion. He also provides historical context, discussing the contributions of other scientists and mathematicians to the development of these fundamental laws. Overall, Newton's Laws of Motion is a comprehensive and accessible guide to one of the most important concepts in physics. It is an essential resource for students and professionals alike, and remains a classic work in the field of physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
