Tracts

Tracts: Containing Mechanics, Or The Doctrine Of Motion; The Projection Of The Sphere; The Laws Of Centripetal And Centrifugal Force (1793) is a book written by William Emerson. It is a collection of three tracts that cover various topics related to mechanics and physics. The first tract, Mechanics, or the Doctrine of Motion, discusses the laws of motion and their applications in mechanics. It covers topics such as momentum, force, acceleration, and the conservation of energy. The tract also includes examples of how these laws apply to real-world situations.The second tract, The Projection of the Sphere, covers the mathematics of spherical projections. It discusses the different types of projections, such as the Mercator and the stereographic, and their uses in navigation and map-making.The third tract, The Laws of Centripetal and Centrifugal Force, discusses the forces that govern the motion of objects in circular motion. It covers topics such as the relationship between force and velocity, the role of gravity in circular motion, and the effects of centrifugal force.Overall, Tracts: Containing Mechanics, Or The Doctrine Of Motion; The Projection Of The Sphere; The Laws Of Centripetal And Centrifugal Force (1793) is a comprehensive guide to the principles of mechanics and physics, and their applications in various fields such as navigation, map-making, and engineering.To Which Is Prefixed, Some Account Of The Life And Writings Of The Author.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
