Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an investigative study into the principles of buoyancy and flotation. The author, a scientist and mathematician, conducts a series of experiments to determine the factors that cause objects to float or sink. His findings challenge the prevailing theories of his time and lay the groundwork for our modern understanding of hydrostatics. The book begins by examining the concept of specific gravity, which is the ratio of the density of an object to the density of water. The author demonstrates that objects with a specific gravity less than one will float, while objects with a specific gravity greater than one will sink. He also shows that the shape of an object does not affect its buoyancy, as long as its overall specific gravity remains the same. The author then goes on to investigate the factors that affect the stability of floating objects. He shows that the center of gravity of a floating object must be below its center of buoyancy in order for it to be stable. He also demonstrates that the size of the object's base affects its stability, with larger bases providing greater stability. This book is a groundbreaking work that laid the foundation for our modern understanding of hydrostatics. The author's experiments and insights have had a profound impact on the design of ships, submarines, and other floating structures. His work also laid the groundwork for the development of the Archimedes principle, which is one of the most important principles in physics.
