The course will be known as Physics 2b, the hours to be the same as for Physics 2a, i. e., Group I, Monday at 9.45, Wednesday at 8.45, Friday at 8.45. The subjects to be taken up include: graphical and analytical methods for finding moments and centroids, friction and lubrication, velocity and acceleration diagrams, brakes and dynamometers, mechanism trains, toothed gearing, belt, rope, and chain gearing, balancing. Members of previous Physics 2a or 7a classes are eligible and Mr. Knowlton desires that any who contemplate electing the new course, virtually an extension of course 2a, signify to him such intention during the present week.
