[Divisions of the OriginaL] 



" CHAPTER I. 



OF THB EQUILIBRIUM AND COMPOSITION OF FORCES 

 ACTING ON A MATERIAL POINT. 



§ 1,2. 0/ motion f force, and the composition and de- 

 composition of forces, M. C. P. 3. (249.) 



§ 3. Equation of the equilibrium of a point subjected to 

 various forces. Method of determining pressure. T'heory 

 of momenta, or rotatory pressures. P.O. (250, 256.) 



CHAPTER II. 



OP THE MOTION OP A MATERIAL POINT. 



§ 4. Of the law of inertia, uniform motion, and velo- 

 city. P. 14. (221.) 



§ 5, 6. Investigation of the relation between force and 

 velocity, which in nature are proportional to each other. 

 Results of this law. P. 15. 



§ 7. Equation of the motion of a body actuated by any 

 number of forces. P. 19. (264.)
