Excerpt from The Elementary Part of a Treatise on the Dynamics of a System of Rigid Bodies, Vol. 1: Being Part I. Of a Treatise on the Whole Subject; With Numerous Examples The student who is just beginning dynamics may not wish to be delayed by a chapter of preliminary analysis before he enters on the real subject of the book. He may therefore begin with D'Alembert's Principle and read only those parts of chapter I. to which reference is made. Others may wish to pass on as soon as possible to the principles of Angular Momentum and Vis Viva. Though a different order may be found advisable for some readers, I have ventured to indicate a list of Articles to which those who are beginning dynamics should first turn their attention. As in the previous editions a chapter has been devoted to the discussion of Motion in Two Dimensions. This course has been adopted because it seemed expedient to separate the difficulties of dynamics from those of solid geometry. Throughout each chapter there will be found numerous examples, many being very easy, while others are intended for the more advanced student. In order to obtain as great a variety of problems as possible, a further collection has been added at the end of each chapter, taken from the Examination Papers which have been set in the University and in the Colleges. As these problems have been constructed by many different examiners, it is hoped that this selection will enable the student to acquire facility in solving all kinds of dynamical problems. There are many useful instruments and important experimental researches whose theories require only a knowledge of dynamics and which can be easily understood without any long or intricate description. It will be seen that many of these have been selected as useful examples. Historical sketches have been attempted whenever they could be briefly given. Such notices, if not carried too far, add greatly to the interest of the subject. It is chiefly with the memoirs written since the early part of the last century that we are here concerned, and the number of these is so great that anything more than a slight notice of them is impossible.
