This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ...observations above made on these very simple cases are found to be completely borne out in more complex ones, as, for instance, in the oscillations of an elastic body, such as the balance-spring of a watch, a tuning-fork, etc. Here the potential energy consists in a deformation of the elastic body, as in bending a spring, etc. etc. All this, however, is on the supposition that the bodies are perfectly elastic, and that there is no external resistance to the motion. 91. The complete theory of all such cases was enuntiated in a perfect form by Newton in the Principia as a scholium to his Third Law of Motion; in which he not only laid down the so-called Principle of Vis-Viva, and D'Alembert's Prin 1 'Energy, ' by Thomson and Tait--Good Words, 1862. ciple, for wl1ich others long afterwards obtained great credit; but stated, so far as the development of experimental science in his time permitted, the great law of Conservation of Energy. This remarkable passage appears, until lately, to have escaped notice; or, at least, not to have received sufficient consideration. It is as follows: --'Si astimetur agentis actio ex ejus vi et velocitate conjunctim; et similiter resistentis reactio astimetur conjunctim ex ejus partium singularum velocitatibus et viribus resistendi ab earum attritione, cohasione, pondere, et acceleratione oriundis; erunt actio et reactio, in omni instrumentorum usu, sibi invicem semper aquales.' By the context it is easy to see that the actio here spoken of by Newton is precisely what is now called rate of doing work, or horse-power. Also the reactio, as far as acceleration is concerned, is precisely what is now known as rate of increase of kinetic energy. Newton's statement is therefore, in modern phraseology, equivalent to...
