Definitions

AXIOMS, OR LAWS OF MOTION

Book One. THE MOTION OF BODIES

I. Method of first and last ratios

II. Determination of centripetal forces

III. Motion of bodies in eccentric conic sections

IV. Determination of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic orbits, from the focus given

V. Determination of orbits when neither focus is given

VI. Determination of motions in given orbits

VII. Rectilinear ascent and descent of bodies

VIII. Determination of orbits in which bodies will revolve, being acted upon by any sort of centripetal force

IX. Motion of bodies in movable orbits; and the motion of the apsides

X. Motion of bodies in given surfaces; and the oscillating pendulous motion of bodies

XI. Motion of bodies tending to each other with centripetal forces

XII. Attractive forces of spherical bodies

XIII. Attractive forces of bodies which are not spherical

XIV. Motion of very small bodies when agitated by centripetal forces tending to the several parts of any very great body

Book Two. THE MOTION OF BODIES

I. Motion of bodies that are resisted in the ratio of the velocity

II. Motion of bodies that are resisted as the square of their velocities

III. Motion of bodies that are resisted partly in the ratio of the velocities, and partly as the square of the same ratio

IV. Circular motion of bodies in resisting mediums

V. Density and compression of fluids; hydrostatics
