Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physics for Technical Students: Mechanics and Heat The present volume is the outgrowth of mimeograph notes which the author has used in connection with a course of lectures given during the past six years. Since the author has also conducted the recitations for several sections during this time, the successive revisions of the notes have been made by one viewing the work from two angles, that of class instructor, as well as that of lecturer. It is believed that in this way a keener realization of the students difficulties, and a better appreciation of what parts should be revised, have been obtained than would have been possible without this two-fold contact. We now have a large and rapidly increasing number of students who are interested primarily in the practical side of education. With the needs of these students in mind, the practical side of the subject has been emphasized throughout the book. This method, it is believed, will sustain interest in the subject by showing its application to everyday affairs, and will, it is hoped, be appreciated by both students and instructors in Agriculture and Engineering. In this connection, attention is directed to sections 18, 19, 20, 29, 30, 39, 44, 54, 56, 60, 62, 63, 76, 80, 83, 108, 109, 111, 134, 138, 170, 185, 189, 190, 195, 200, 204, 205, 206, 218 and Chapters VII, XII, XVII, and XVIII. More space than usual has been devoted to the treatment of Force, Torque, Translatory Motion, and Rotary Motion. It is felt that the great importance of these topics, which underlie so much of the subsequent work of the student, warrants such treatment. Probably everyone who has taught the theory of electrical measuring instruments, for example, has realized that the students greatest handicap is the lack of a thorough grasp of the fundamental principles of mechanics. The student who has thoroughly mastered elementary mechanics has done much toward preparing himself for effective work in technical lines. The sketches, which are more numerous than is usual in such a text, are chosen with special reference to the help they will be in enabling the student to readily grasp important or difficult principles.
