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. The book is a collection of three tracts that cover various topics related to mechanics and physics. The first tract, Mechanics, discusses the doctrine of motion and explains the laws of motion as formulated by Sir Isaac Newton. The second tract, The Projection of the Sphere, explains the principles of spherical trigonometry and how they can be used to calculate the positions of celestial bodies. The third tract, The Laws of Centripetal and Centrifugal Force, explores the principles of these two forces and how they affect the motion of objects. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive overview of mechanics and physics, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars in these fields.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.
