Excerpt from Elementary Ideas, Definitions and Laws in Dynamics

An attempt is here made to define and correlate the ideas associated with the words Weight, Inertia, Mass, Force, Work, and Energy. In this process any one of these terms may be used before it is defined, in cases where the popular use of the term is sufficiently exact for the immediate purpose. One word, however, Force, which must appear very frequently in the following pages, has been used so loosely, in scientific as well as in popular writings, that it is well to give at once the fol lowing provisional definition: Force is a Push or a Pull.
