Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to dealing with the properties of magnets and the earth's magnetism, three chapters are devoted to the magnetism of the ship, the third explaining in detail the reason for, and composition of, the nine rods. The relation of the components P, Q and R and the rods to the various coefficients are fully explained.

Download or read book Ship Magnetism and the Magnetic Compass written by F. G. Merrifield and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ship Magnetism and the Magnetic Compass deals with the magnetism of ships and the deviation of the magnetic compass produced by this magnetism. Emphasis is placed on the distinction between the deviation itself and what causes the deviation. Numerous worked examples for exercise are found at the end of each chapter. Comprised of 15 chapters, this volume begins with an introduction to magnetometry, paying particular attention to the magnitude of the forces involved in magnetism and the manner in which these forces act. The strength of a magnetic pole is also considered, along with the angle of deflection of the needle when in two magnetic fields. Subsequent chapters offer a thorough treatment of the strength of the magnetic field and the magnet's moment of inertia and magnetic moment; the earth's magnetic force; and how the different parts of the ship's magnetic force give different types of deviation. The book also explains the heeling error and its causes; the principle underlying successful compass adjustment; the effect of the ship's magnetic forces on the directive force felt by the compass needles; and sub-permanent magnetism. This monograph will be of value to students and practitioners interested in ship magnetism and the magnetic compass.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The compass's rocky evolution is charted with an enthusiast's passion…A fascinating adventure." —Bernadette Murphy, Los Angeles Times This is the rich history of the most important navigational device of all time, the magnetic compass, born of the need for a reliable means of negotiating treacherous sea routes around the globe. Compass chronicles the misadventures of those who attempted to perfect the instrument—so precious to sixteenth-century seamen that, by law, any man found tampering with one had his hand pinned to the mast with a dagger. Part history, part adventure, this book is a compelling tribute to human ingenuity—and the mysteries of the sea.

This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the development of Chinese science and technology, which was gradually shaped by systematical theories and entered into a new stage of development in the course of a lengthy historical evolution. It discusses topics such as the four great inventions of ancient China, ancient Chinese cuisine, and Chinese textile culture. This book is the fourth volume in the series History of Science and Technology in China. History of Science and Technology in China is the first series with high academic values on general history of Chinese science and technology, with contributions by top-notch scholars in this field. This 5-volume work provides an encyclopedic historical panorama of Chinese scientific and technological development. It unfolds the history of Chinese science and technology through a clarified timeline from as early as the far ancient times to the very present. This work consists of five volumes: Origins of Chinese Sciences, Ancient Chinese Studies of Heaven and Earth, High Tide of Chinese Sciences, Theoretical and Technological Development, and Western Influences.
