Laboratory Course in Physics of the Household e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This Laboratory Course in Physics of the Household covers the ground recommended by the College Entrance Board. It differs from similar courses in four ways: first, it contains Exercises in addition to the usual Experiments; second, it requires the use of the common weights and measures side by side with the metric weights and measures; third, it permits the use of much apparatus familiar to the student; and fourth, it encourages the student to set up a laboratory in his own home. The Exercises help the student to appreciate how physics is applied in his home and in his environment in general. The Exercises and Experiments together complement the classroom work.
