The Second Law of Newton

0

This law can be called the Principle of Dynamics and it’s the second of three law that was established by Sir Isaac Newton to study the cause of the movements in the Universe and of things on Earth. This principle states that a body at rest requires the application of a force so it can move, and that a body in motion is needed to stop by the application of a force. A body gets speed and direction according to the intensity of application of force meaning the higher the strength the greater the acceleration acquired by the body.

Science Delight: How to Weigh the Earth

19

As we might all know, planetary data like masses, sizes, and interplanetary distances are now readily available and well- arranged in books and across the internet. Self-evidently, it is impossible to measure those data directly. Isn’t it curious at how those values were acquired? Let’s take a look at one of the early triumphs of physics as the primary tool for such field of intellectual quest – the determination of the mass of the Earth.

This is one of the classic mathematical problems whose solution led to the discovery of the calculus of variation – now very useful in the field of engineering and physics. Finding its solution for the first time was not easy. It took the great Bernoulli brothers, Newton, Leibniz, et al. to accomplish it. All of them are all-time mathematical greats.
