Force and energy
Its action really reveals one of the vital working principles of
energetics. This principle may be generally stated thus:--
EVERY TRANSFORMATION OF ENERGY IS CARRIED OUT BY THE ACTION OF
ENERGISED MATTER IN THE LINES OR FIELD OF AN INCEPTING ENERGY
INFLUENCE.
In the particular case we have just considered, the incepting field is
simply the inherent gravitative property of the energised mass. This
property is manifested as an attractive force between portions of
matter. This, however, is not of necessity the only aspect of an
incepting influence. In the course of this work various instances of
transformation will be presented in which the incepting influence
functions in a guise entirely different. It is important to note that
the incepting influence itself is in no way changed, altered, or
transformed during the process of transformation which it influences.
5. _Limits of Rotational Energy. Disruptional Phenomena_
It is clear that the material at different parts of the rotating
spheroid will be energised to varying degrees. Since the linear velocity
of the material in the equatorial regions of the spheroid is greater
than that of the material about the poles, the energy of motion of the
former will exceed that of the latter, the difference becoming greater
as the mass is increasingly energised and assumes more and more the
discoidal form.
The question now arises as to how far this process of energising the
material mass may be carried. What are its limits? The capacity of the
rotating body for energy clearly depends on the amount of work which
may be spent on its material in distorting it against the influence of
the gravitative attraction. The amount is again dependent on the
strength of this attraction. But the value of the gravitative attraction
or gravitation field is, by the law of gravitation, in direct proportion
to the quantity of material or matter present, and hence the capacity of
the body for energy depends on its mass or on the quantity of matter
which composes it.
