About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: sistance which arisesfrom Friction, and on adjusting theforms and positions of all parts to the nature and Strength Of The Materials, and to the strains which they have to bear. Solid is the term applied to a mass in which the mutual attraction of the atoms is so strong, that the mass may be moved about as one body, without the relative positions of the compo.nent atoms being thereby disturbed. Force moving part of a solid, must affect the whole or break off the part. This is a necessary consequence of the description or definition of a solid just given. And it follows that in all cases of breaking, the cohesion of the atoms at the fractured part must have been less strong than the weight of the remaining mass, or its inertia, or the force fixing it to its place, or than some combination of these particulars. The sharp blow of a hammer on an ivory ball, causes it to dart off swiftly, but does it no injury, because the cohesion among the atoms struck is stronger than the inertia of the mass, even under a rapid change: but the blow of a hammer on a large elephant's tusk, indents or breaks the part, because the inertia of the larger mass is stronger than the cohesion of the atoms which receive the blow. A vessel of pottery-ware may be safely sus pended by its handle: proving that the cohesion which fixes the handle to it, is stronger than the weight of the vessel; but if the attempt be made to lift the vessel quickly, the handle may riseand leave the body behind; because then the weight and inertia are acting together. Thus servants attempting to lift too quickly the loaded dishes at a dinner table, often break off the part by which they take hold. Centre of Gravity or Inertia. If a uniform beam or rod be supported by its middle, like a weighing beam, ...
