Title: Statics - Including Hydrostatics and the Elements of the Theory of Elasticity
Description: Cambridge, Cambridge University Press. 1933. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Gilt title to spine on red cloth boards which are clean and unmarked with just a little wear to spine head and tail and to lower corner tips.

Third edition (first was 1912). The book had its origins in a course of lectures given for a number of years in the Manchester University, but has received various additions and developments. The present volume differs from many academical manuals in the prominence given to geometrical methods, and in particular to those of Graphical Statics. Chapters on: Theory of Vectors; Statics of a Particle; Plane Kinematics of a Rigid Body; Plane Statics; Graphical Statics; Theory of Frames; Work and Energy; Analytical Statics; Theory of Mass-Systems; Flexible Chains; Laws of Fluid Pressure; Equilibrium of Floating Bodies; General Conditions of Equilibrium of a Fluid; Equilibrium of Gaseous Fluids; Capillarity; Strains and Stresses; Extension of Bars; Flexure and Torsion of Bars; Stresses in Cylindrical and Spherical Shells. B2E. Very Good/No Jacket.
