Abstract

[In concluding Part I, we examine those machines whose functional basis was the theory of impact, or more generally, the forces generated in a body in motion relative to a fluid. Apart from these machines, there is an additional category of applications, perhaps the most significant, corresponding to naval theory, i.e., to ships. The analyses that we shall undertake will pay attention to the discussion in the Prolegomenon concerning applied science, which in brief is the extension of the theories to models and the theoretical functioning of machines, but without including the technology required for their manufacture.]
