... and consider the fluid which flows into this space , and the fluid which flows out
of it , across different parts of its bounding surface , in any time . If the fuid is of the
same density and incompressible , the whole quantity of matter in the space in ...

If the point be constrained to remain always on a given surface , one degree of
constraint is introduced , or there are left but two degrees of freedom . For we may
take the normal to the surface as one of three rectangular directions of resolution
...

properly chosen on the barrel and stock of a rifle be made to rest on six convex
portions of the surface of a fixed rigid body , the rifle may be replaced any number
of times in precisely the same position , for the purpose of testing its accuracy .

In the preceding chapter we considered as a subject of pure geometry the motion
of points , lines , surfaces , and volumes , whether taking place with or without
change of dimensions and form ; and the results we there arrived at are of course

In reality , however , the place of application of a force is always either a surface
or a space of three dimensions occupied by matter . The point of the finest needle
, or the edge of the sharpest : knife , is still a surface , and acts as such on the ...
