Specimen Hydrodynamicum De Resistentia Corporum In Fluidis Motorum, No. III

More about the book

Focusing on the principles of hydrodynamics, this work explores the resistance of bodies in fluid motion, particularly in water. The author presents numerous experiments and observations that illustrate the laws governing fluid motion, revealing that resistance is proportional to both velocity and the surface area of the object. Written in Latin, this book is a significant contribution to the history of hydrodynamics and is part of a series on the subject. Its facsimile reprint aims to preserve the cultural importance of the original text.
