Force is recognized as acting in two ways : I ° so as to compel rest or to prevent
change of motion , and 2 ° so as to produce or to change motion . Dynamics ,
therefore , is divided into two parts , which are conveniently called STATICS and
...

The definition in last section may evidently be extended to a plane polygon , and
the integral change of direction , or the angle between the first and last sides , is
then the sum of its exterior angles , all the sides being produced each in the ...

all the sides being produced each in the direction in which the moving point
describes it while passing round the figure . This is true whether the polygon be
closed or not . If closed , then , as long as it is not crossed , this sum is four right
angles ...

But if another point U be taken in YS produced , so that YS SU is constant , the
locus of U is easily seen to be a circle . Hence the proposition is generally true for
all conic sections . The hodograph surrounds its origin if the orbit be an ellipse ...
