An elementary treatise on mechanics, embracing the theory of statics and dynamics, and its applications to solids and fluids (1868)
Smith, Augustus W. (Augustus William), 1802-1866 · New York : Harper · leaf 131
The requisites of a good balance are, 1°. That the beam rest in a horizontal position when loadedwith equal weights. , 2°. That the balance possess great sensibility.3°. That it possess great stability. 176. Prop. To determine the conditions that the beam rest ina horizontal position when loaded… … 108 STATICS. But taking into consideration the weight of the beam, its center of gravity must be in the vertical through C, the center ofmotion {Art. 110), and, in order to this, the beam must be sym-metrical on opposite sides of the fulcrum {Art. 97). The lineAB, joining the points of suspension,…
