I have poured over this paper again and cannot find anything similar to your first equation that might work for the two leftmost diagrams. However, immediately following what I quote above, I find this:
One root of the [cubic equation above] is evidently a real negative quantity. The...
Ah-hah!
In this paper, I have a description of Jenkin's Governor (forgive me, I'm trying to figure out this formatting thing)...
So perhaps that would be the label for the two diagrams on the right (although I would need to define a, b, and beta I'm thinking, yes)?
I'll look through...
Well, here is what Maxwell says:
It will be seen that the motion of a machine with its governor consists in general of a uniform motion, combined with a disturbance which may be expressed as the sum of several component motions. These components may be of four different kinds :—
1. The...
The scale can be anything we want it to be. The diagrams were created by a graphic designer based on text descriptions in the document ("oscillation of continually increasing amplitude", etc.). Now that I look at it, the diagrams are somewhat suspect where T=0, that should probably be an...
Need some help. I studied math a million years ago and my boss thinks I still remember anything about diff EQ besides my professor's haircut. I don't.
I have these diagrams (http://www.dubberly.com/stage/Maxwell2.jpg and attached).
I need to label them with appropriate formulas.
I have a...
