पुरातन भारतीय विज्ञानं - Newton's Third law

पुरातन भारतीय विज्ञानं 

Hope you have read my note two as well...Now before moving into physics that we usually do by vaisheshika sutra and its explanations, Let us start with the pythogorous theorem....er...i am sorry..i meant BODHAYANA's Theorem. 

Bodhayana's Sulbha suthra is a book containing geometry and its applications.It says, 

"Dheergha charutharskhanyaa rajju: paarshvamaanee thiryag maanee cha 

yath pruthag bhuthe kuru thasdath ubhayam karothi " 

It means that in  a right angled triangle, the sum of the sqaures of other two sides other than the longest side total to the longest side multiplied by itself. 

This calculation was given to frame the triangular frames in which pujas like fire worship were done.Thus is it BODHAYANA's theorem or....pythogorous theorem ??!! 

Now we shall move onto the discussion of ours on physics.Today i find in the sutras an asotnishing sutra that is the third law of newton that the whole world knows. [ vaisheshika sutra 1.1.14] we shall discuss this later in this note or in the next note. 

SADANITYAM DRAVYAVATH KARYAM KARANAM SAAMAANYA VISHESHA VIDHITHA DRAVYA GUNAAKARMAAGAMA VISHESHA:  [VAISHESHIKA SUTRA 1.1.8] (sutra 9 also talks of the same thing it is not discussed here as it is just an extension of this sutra) 

SAT- EXISTING ; DRAVYAVATH - Containing ;  AVISEHSHA: - RESEMBLANCE 

Any body’s mass needs to be wholly explained in terms of its constituent particles.

DRAVYANAAM DRAVYAM KAARYAM SAMAANYAM 

Dravyanaam dravyam - substance constituting substances 

Any substance comprising of two or more primary particle types requires a chemical reaction to generate it- the conjoining and break up of prexisting molecules.

DVITHVA PRABHRUTHAYA: SANKHYA: PRUTHAKTHVA SAMYOGA VIBHAGAASHCHA 

The “molecules” are stated as emerging from combinations between the fundamental entities 

KANADA further explains that Forces are necessary to bring about combination and break up of molecules and 

The combinations of particles to produce molecules result in substances with states very different from those of the original particles  in around six suthras in the beginning of fourth chapter. 

Thus he clearly differentiates between a chemical reaction and a physical reaction.

Now it is time to put down the third law of newton...the law actually proposed by maharishi kanada !! 

KARYA VIRODHI KARMA [ VAISHESHIKA SUTHRA 1.1.14] 

karya - Action Virodhi - opposite karma - Actiona (reaction in this case) 

EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUIVALENT AND OPPOSITE REACTION !!!! 

Mouths wide open again ??? welll must be...then how wud u react if i said..the indians of those times knew how to design aeroplanes ?! YES !! they did know !! thre is this shastra by name VAIMANIKA SHASTRA by MAHARISHI BHARATHWAJA !! that explains the construction and working of AEROPLANES !!! we shall discuss this after discussing VAISHESHIKA SUTRAS.
