Dynamics , therefore , is divided into two parts , which are conveniently called
STATICS and KINETICS . 3. In Statics the action of force in maintaining rest , or
preventing change of motion , the balancing of forces , ' or Equilibrium , is ...

Amongst the most important classes of motions which we have to consider in
Natural Philosophy , there is one , namely , Harmonic Motion , which is of such
immense use , not only in ordinary kinetics , but in the theories of sound , light ,
heat ...

principles to various subjects in practical mechanics , acoustics , and physical
