A Treatise Of The Mechanical Powers is a book written by Andrew Motte in 1727. The book is a comprehensive study of the mechanical principles that govern the movement of machines and other mechanical devices. It covers a wide range of topics related to mechanics, including the laws of motion, the principles of lever and pulley systems, and the mechanics of fluids.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of mechanics. The first section focuses on the laws of motion, including Newton's three laws of motion and their applications. The second section explores the principles of lever and pulley systems, including their applications in simple machines.The third section of the book is devoted to the mechanics of fluids, including the principles of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics. This section covers topics such as the behavior of fluids under pressure, the flow of fluids through pipes and channels, and the principles of buoyancy.Throughout the book, Motte provides detailed explanations and examples of the principles he is discussing, making the book accessible to readers with a range of backgrounds and levels of expertise. The book also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the concepts being discussed.Overall, A Treatise Of The Mechanical Powers is a comprehensive and informative guide to the principles of mechanics, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the science of mechanics or the design and operation of mechanical devices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
