A Manual of Applied Mechanics, written by William John Macquorn Ranking and originally published in 1882, is a comprehensive guide to the principles of mechanics and their practical applications. The book is divided into five parts, covering topics such as statics, dynamics, strength of materials, and hydraulics. The first part of the book focuses on statics, or the study of forces acting on stationary objects, including the principles of equilibrium, moments, and centers of gravity. The second part covers dynamics, which deals with the motion of objects and the forces that cause that motion, including topics such as acceleration, velocity, and momentum. The third part of the book is devoted to the strength of materials, which involves the study of the behavior of materials under stress and strain. This section includes discussions of elasticity, plasticity, and fracture mechanics, as well as the design of structures such as beams, columns, and trusses. The fourth part of the book covers hydraulics, which is the study of fluids in motion and their effects on objects. This section includes discussions of pressure, flow, and the design of hydraulic systems. The final part of the book includes several appendices that provide additional information on topics such as units of measurement, mathematical formulas, and the properties of materials. Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts and apply them in practical situations. Overall, A Manual of Applied Mechanics is a valuable resource for students and professionals in engineering, physics, and related fields who need a comprehensive and practical guide to the principles of mechanics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
