But in some respects the one is the reverse of the other, for we reckon backward and forward from a fixed point--the era; that is the numbers increase each way from the era.
An era is a fixed point of time from which a series of years is reckoned.
In the same way, the rim and spokes of a wheel, when in rapid motion, would be driven straight forwards in a right line, were they not confined to a fixed point, round which they are compelled to move.
Motion then consists in a change of place; a body is in motion whenever it is changing its situation with regard to a fixed point.
We may now proceed to curvilinear motion: this is the result of two forces acting on a body; by one of which, it is projected forward in a right line; whilst by the other, it is drawn or impelled towards a fixed point.
We take next the case of a particle attracted towards a fixed point O in the line of motion with a force varying as the distance from that point.
The quadratic moments with respect to different planes through a fixed point O are related to one another as follows.
In any continuous motion of a solid about a fixed point O, the limiting position of the axis of the rotation by which the body can be brought from any one of its positions to a consecutive one is called the instantaneous axis.
The circumference of a circle is a plane curve such that all points in it have the same distance from a fixed point in the plane.
To true up is to take off the work a cut of sufficient depth to cause a fixed point to touch the work surface equally at each point in the revolution.
If the engine is to have a fixed point of cut off, or, in other words, if the cut off is always to occur at some one particular point in the stroke, the valves may be set to do so, and equalize the points of cut off.
The end of the rope may be fastened to the movable block, instead of a fixed point, with an additional gain of power, and using either one or two sheaves in the fixed block.
It is a curve, any point of which is equally distant from a fixed point, called the focus, and a fixed straight line, called the directrix.
Defn: A body so suspended from a fixed point as to swing freely to and fro by the alternate action of gravity and momentum.
These arms turn about a fixed point, which is the center of the graduated circle or semicircle upon which the angle is read off.
Conical or Revolving, pendulum, a weight connected by a rod with a fixed point; and revolving in a horizontal cyrcle about the vertical from that point.
A fixed point of time, usually an epoch, from which a series of years is reckoned.
The circulation becomes brisker as the engine becomes hotter and thus the temperature of the cylinders is kept more nearly to a fixed point.
A fixed point of tenderness can often be determined when the stomach is empty more accurately than when it is full.
Beyond determining the existence of a fixed point of epigastric tenderness, physical examination of the region of the stomach is usually only of negative value in the diagnosis of gastric ulcer.
Fixed point localized, than in | localized, than in | of tenderness ulcer.
Ahau 8 Cumhu, or simply a fixed pointin a far vaster chronological conception.
Find the order of infinity of all lines tangent to a sphere; of all planes tangent to a sphere; of lines and planes tangent to a sphere and passing through a fixed point.
Show that there is a fourfold infinity of circles in space that pass through a fixed point.
A correspondence is there indicated between lines in space and circles through a fixed point in space.
Oscillations of a vertical elastic prism suspended to a fixed point, and loaded with a weight, neglecting the inertia, and the weight of the material parts of this prism.
Extension of the preceding motions to the instantaneous axis of rotation of a rigid system movable about a fixed point.
The conchoid is also the locus of any point on a rod which is constrained to move so that it always passes through a fixed point, while a fixed point on the rod travels along a straight line.
First, the diurnal motion of the whole heavens from east to west must have been noticed during the night, and the fact that certain stars never set, but turn in a circle round a fixed point.
As the choirs of angels turn about a fixed point, so the nine material circles turn also about another fixed point, and are moved by the pure spirits.
Like so many circles, they were ranged round a fixed point, the Eternal Being, in an order determined by their relative perfection.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "fixed point" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
