Page 42 - Hence, the moment of the resultant of two forces is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments of the forces taken separately. 53. Forces Acting at Different Points. Parallel Forces.— We have thus far considered forces acting upon a single particle, or upon one point of a body. If, how- Fia 33...

The moment of inertia of a body, with respect to an axis, is the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the mass of each elementary particle by the square of its distance from the axis; hence, the moment of inertia of the same body varies according to the position of the axis.

These works have been prepared expressly for Public and Union Schools, Academies, and Seminaries, where an extensive course of study on this subject and expensive apparatus was not desired, or could not be afforded. A fair, practical knowledge of Chemistry is exceedingly desirable, and almost a necessity, at tho present day, but it has been...
