Book Description
On the Free Motion of Points and on Universal Gravitation is a critical analysis of the principles and propositions laid out in books I and III of the 'Principia' by Isaac Newton. The book provides a comprehensive and rigorous exposition of the concept of universal gravitation and its implications for the motion of celestial bodies. Its logical and mathematical approach makes it an important resource for physicists, astronomers, and mathematicians alike.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1836 edition. Excerpt: ...Thus, it is diminished through 135 and increased through 45, and is therefore more diminished than increased in a half revolution; and the same effect precisely will be produced in the next half revolution. It is therefore perpetually less and less at every succeeding appulse of the body to the node. And by a similar reasoning it will appear that the same is true, so long as the nodes are between A and C, and B and D. When the nodes are in the octants before quadratures, it may be proved, in like manner, that the inclination will be increased through 135 of P's semi-revolution, and diminished through 45; and therefore it will be, on the whole, more increased than diminished; and the inclination will be greater and greater at each appulse of the body to the node. And the same is true, so long as the nodes are between B and C, and A and J). Therefore, while the node moves from A to C, the inclination of the orbit is perpetually diminished. It is least when the line of nodes is in quadrature. After that point it increases perpetually while the node moves from C to B, and is greatest when the node is in syzygy, increasing by the same degrees as those by which it had diminished, and returning to its original magnitude. In the case of the moon, we find (Airy, L. T. Art. 68, ) that if 7 be the longitude of the node, /3 the longitude of the sun, the tangent of the inclination of the orbit is, f 3m, nx kl+---cos. 2 (7-/3); o which is greatest when y-f& = 0 or = 180, that is, when the nodes are in syzygy; and least when y-/3 = 90 or = 270, that is, when the nodes are in quadrature. Regression Of The Nodes. 69. Cob. 11. When the nodes are in quadratures, the body P is perpetually drawn from the plane of its orbit towards the fixed plane EST, by...
