Page "Euclid" Paragraph 23
from
Wikipedia
* Several works on mechanics are attributed to Euclid by Arabic sources.
On the Heavy and the Light contains, in nine definitions and five propositions, Aristotelian notions of moving bodies and the concept of specific gravity.
On the Balance treats the theory of the lever in a similarly Euclidean manner, containing one definition, two axioms, and four propositions.
A third fragment, on the circles described by the ends of a moving lever, contains four propositions.
These three works complement each other in such a way that it has been suggested that they are remnants of a single treatise on mechanics written by Euclid.
