Manual Of Hydrostatics (1859) - Joseph Allen Galbraith

The Manual of Hydrostatics, written by Joseph Allen Galbraith and published in 1859, is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of hydrostatics. Hydrostatics is the study of fluids at rest, and this book covers topics such as pressure, buoyancy, and fluid mechanics. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of hydrostatics. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts of hydrostatics, including the definition of a fluid, the principles of pressure and buoyancy, and the equations governing fluid flow. Subsequent chapters delve deeper into specific topics such as the measurement of pressure, the calculation of buoyant forces, and the behavior of fluids in motion. The book also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand and apply the concepts presented.Overall, the Manual of Hydrostatics is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of fluids, from students and researchers to engineers and technicians. Its clear explanations and practical examples make it an accessible and informative guide to this important field of study.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
