Newton's principia, first book sections I, II, III, with notes and illustrations and a collection of problems, principally intended as examples of Newton's methods (1900)
this is the limit of the angle, describedin a time T, divided by T, when T is indefinitely diminished. 183. To find the angular velocity in a central orbit. Let PQ be a small arc described in the time P, draw QN perpendicular to ^SP, then 7^.P= twice the area P8Q= QN.SP ultimately; and, if the… … 184. To find the angular velocity of the perpendicular on thetangent from the centre of force. Draw 8Y perpendicular on the tangent PY.^ and let PV bethe chord of curvature through S. The angle described by 8Y m the time T is equal to theangle between the tangents at P and Q^ or to twice the…
