Page 127 - Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far as it may be compelled by impressed forces to change that state.
Page 304 - ... the algebraic sum of the moments of the forces about any point in their plane must likewise vanish.
Page 129 - Change of motion is proportional to the impressed force and takes place in the direction of the straight line in which the force acts.
Page 124 - A mass of 6 ounces slides down a smooth inclined plane, whose height is half its length, and draws another mass from rest over a distance of 3 feet in 5 seconds along a horizontal table which is level with the top of the plane over which the string passes ; find the mass on the table.
