Principles of the Mechanics of Machinery and Engineering

<p>Principles of the Mechanics of Machinery and Engineering by Walter Rogers Johnson and Julius Weisbach originally published in 1848 is a comprehensive exploration of both theoretical and applied mechanics. This historical text delves into the fundamental principles governing the operation and design of machinery offering insights into the engineering practices of the mid-19th century.</p><p>Volume 2 focuses on Applied Mechanics expanding on the theoretical foundations laid in earlier sections. This work is invaluable for historians of science and technology mechanical engineers seeking a deeper understanding of classical mechanics and anyone interested in the evolution of engineering thought. This edition preserves the original language and intent ensuring that the wisdom of the past remains accessible to modern readers.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
