中国远古时代力学成就探讨

An Inquistiton into the Achievements in Mechanics of Ancient China

试图对中国原始人类在动力学的萌芽、对阻力的认识、对浮力、重力、反作用力的认识与应用、对物体重心与平衡关系的认识、摩擦原理的应用、杠杆力学原理的应用、惯性力学原理的应用等方面进行探讨。通过对原始人类所使用过的某些生产工具、武器、生活用器等的考察及对琢磨、钻扎、切锯等生产技术的分析研究，论证了中国远古时代的力学成就。

Based on the theory that mechanics is actually the science of the development and applica-tion of the prodtiction tool, and an important sign of the prodtictivity, the writers of this paper intothe achievements in mechanics of the primitive Chincse people in their recognition of the sprouting ofmechanics,the recognition of resistance,the recognition and application ofhioyance,gravity and re-action, the recognition of the center of gravity and the balance of objects, the application of frictionpriiiciple,the principle of lever mechanics and that of inertia mechanics. The achicvements have beenproved after examining some of his production tools, weapons and utentqils,such as bows and arrows,stone balls,canoes and boats,net pendants,pottery rasps,stone tools with handles and sharp-bot-tomed jars,and after analysing and researching his techniques in grinding. drilling, cuttIng and otherfields.
