The mathematical condition to be expressed in any case of it is simply that the
distance measured along the line from any one point to any other , remains
constant , however the line be bent . 17. The use of a cord in mechanism

Since the velocity in ABD is constant , all the lines OP , 00 , etc. , will be equal ( to
V ) , and therefore POS is a circle whose b B centre is O. The direction of
acceleration at A is parallel to S the tangent at P , that is , is perpendicular to OP ,
i.e. to ...

Of course the preceding formulae apply to a constant retardation , as in the case
of a projectile moving vertically upwards , by simply giving a a negative sign . 44.
When there is uniform acceleration in a constant direction , the path described is

For the product of this perpendicular and the velocity at any instant gives double
the area described in one second about the fixed point , which has just been
shown to be a constant quantity . Other examples of these principles will be met
with ...
