Abstract
(1) THIS little book is primarily intended for naval cadets, who are undergoing instruction in applied mechanics during their six months' cruise in the Cumberland and Cornwall. The examples at the end of each chapter, which are all fully worked out, illustrate, so far as possible, the application of the various principles discusseE in each section to actual practical problems which are likely to be met with by the cadets in their future professional career; there is, therefore, a refreshing novelty in these examples, and they differ markedly from those usually met with in the ordinary text-books on this subject.
