About this book
A teacher's apparatus and an evening class of artisans stand behind these lectures on the basic laws of force and motion. Sir Robert Stawell Ball gave them at the Royal College of Science in Dublin, first printing them in 1871, and this is the revised edition of 1888. His apparatus follows a system of Professor Willis of Cambridge, described in an appendix. The lectures take up the composition and resolution of forces, parallel forces, gravity, friction and the pulley, each worked through with apparatus large enough for the whole room to see and with measurements made in front of the class.
