BOOK I. OF THE MOTION OF BODIES
SECTION
- Of the method of first and last ratios of quantities, by the
help whereof we demonstrate the propositions that follow
- Of the invention of centripetal forces
- Of the motion of bodies in eccentric conic sections
- Of the finding of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic orbits,
from the focus given
- How the orbits are to be found when neither focus is given
- How the motions are to be found in given orbits
- Concerning the rectilinear ascent and descent of bodies
- Of the invention of orbits wherein bodies will revolve, being acted upon by any sort
of centripetal force
- Of the motion of bodies in moveable orbits, and of the motion of the apsides
- Of the motion of bodies in given superficies, and of the reciprocal motion of
funependulous bodies
- Of the motion of bodies to each other with centripetal forces
- Of the attractive forces of spherical bodies
- Of the attractive forces of bodies which are not of a spherical figure
- Of the motion of very small bodies when agitated by centripetal forces tending to the
several parts of any very great body
BOOK II. OF THE MOTION OF BODIES (contd.)
SECTION
- Of the motion of bodies that are resisted in the ratio of velocity
- Of the motion of bodies that are resisted in the duplicate ratio of their velocities
- Of the motions of bodies which are resisted partly in the ratio of the velocities,
and partly in the duplicate of the same ratio
- Of the circular motion of bodies in resisting mediums
- Of the density and compression of fluids; and of hydrostatics
- Of the motion and resistance of funependulous bodies
- Of the motion of fluids and the resistance made to projected bodies
