He is known for his so-called ìEmerson Paradoxî. the Mechanics was very popular and went through several editions. It deals with the general laws of motion, descent of bodies, centers of gravity, mechanical powers, comparative strength of timber and its failure, forces of engines and their motion, as well as friction, hydrostatics, and pneumatics. The volume also poses the Emerson Paradox.îóRoberts & Trent. Robert & Trent, Bibliotheca Mechanica, pp. 101-02.
