Newton's cradle with his 'Principia', illustration
Newton's cradle with his 'Principia', illustration. The book 'Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica' (1687) was written by English physicist, mathematician and astronomer Isaac Newton (1643-1727). His most famous work, it includes his universal laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation. This would form the basis of physics for the next two hundred years. The desk toy on the book is a Newton's cradle, a device that consists of a number of steel balls suspended from a frame in a horizontal line. When one of the balls is pulled back and allowed to swing, it impacts the stationary line of balls. The momentum is transferred along the line, causing the ball on the opposite end to move upwards to a similar height. This apparatus demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy.
