Newton’s second law of motion was given by Swiss Scientist Leonhard Euler in 1775

Shimla :  Ajay Sharma, Assistant Director Education presented a paper in ‘Ist Himachal Pradesh Science Congress, and  stressed the second law of motion was given by Euler, not by Newton. Ajay Sharma also showed the text from Newton’s Principia (1687)  and research paper of Swiss scientist Euler (1775).  In July this year Ajay Sharma has presented   his paper in the Euler Society, Washington, America . Also his research paper has been published in September after peer review in internationally recognized journal Physics Essays from USA. It imparted scientific validity to world.

Ajay Sharma gave scientific and historical facts to support his claim that Newton never gave the law known after his name, but Euler did.  The law was discovered 48 years after death of Newton.(1727).   Sharma stated that one can read Euler’s paper it is available at website of  Mathematical Association of America (Euler) as paper number E479 at page 223. In mathematical form of  law  F=ma is also quoted. His lecturer continued for  more than half an hour.

Whereas Newton’s second law of motion is quoted in the Principia at page 19-20. It is very simple statement, and virtually no application. It is never quoted in the quoted in mathematical form. After the deaths of Euler and Newton scientists credited the Euler’s law to Newton, and is taught all over the world as Newton’s Second Law of Motion. It is not  eighth  but tenth wonder of the world. Ajay Sharma’s paper has been published has been published  at page  number 101 of  Souvenir and Abstracts of  1st Himachal Pradesh Science  Congress.
