The game of bilboquet, or cup and ball, will show the influence of rotatory motion in steadying the rectilinear path of a spherical body, whence the theory of the rifle-gun may be deduced.
There were five different expedients proposed in the specification for producing a rotatory motion; but, of these five, two only were ever applied in practice.
The second method of producing a rotatory motion, which was subsequently continued for many years in practical operation, was that which was called the Sun-and-planet Wheels.
Rotatory motion, method of producing by sun and planet wheels, 187.
The reaction of the air on the issuing steam produces a rotatory motion in the jets, C C, attached to a centre but hollow axle.
It was this fact that induced Professor Jacobi, of St. Petersburg, after a large expenditure of money, to abandon arrangements of this kind, and to employ such as would at once produce a rotatory motion.
Clocquet, who states that the vibrations in [Page 60] this case were produced by a rotatory motion in the lumbar regions of the vertebral column.
The Anaxagorean Nous introduces order and symmetry into Nature, simply by stirring up rotatory motion in the inert mass, so as to release the Homoeomeries from prison.
It originates and maintains the great cosmical fact of rotatory motion; which variety of motion, from its perfect regularity and sameness, is declared by Plato also to be the one most consonant to Reason and Intelligence.
B the plan, the workman presses the wires, and turns them about with his forefinger, giving them such a rotatory motion as to make their points conical.
Hence, if the hollow shaft be so fixed that it will not turn, the perforated cylinder is capable of having a rotatory motion given to it round that shaft.
It may be vibratory motion as heat, or wave motion as light, or rotatory motion as electricity, but motion of some sort is inseparably connected with all matter.
While electricity, as we shall see later on, is also due to some form of rotatory motion.
It is a well-known law in physics, that when fluid matter collects towards, or meets in a centre, it establishes a rotatory motion.
This is putting a rotatory motion on a ball, causing it to spin on a horizontal axis forwards instead of backwards.
This is a rotatory motion put on a ball, making it spin on a perpendicular axis.
This is putting a rotatory motion on a ball, causing it to spin on a horizontal axis backwards.
It is, merely, an attempt to effect, by power and a rotatory motion, what is done by hand and a vibrating one.
I have insisted, often, on the propriety, mechanically speaking, of doing every thing by rotatory motion; and thus of avoiding oscillation wherever it is possible.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "rotatory motion" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
