Abstract

English translation of “De motu corporum in superficiebus mobilibus” (Eneström E086), titled “On the motion of bodies on movable surfaces.” Attribution: Leonhard Euler. This PDF includes all original pp. 1–136, sections I–C, both symbolic force tables, and four plates containing twenty-seven figures. Prepared for Open Math Heritage with OpenAI-assisted translation, mathematical transcription and LaTeX typesetting. OMH v1.0 is a machine-assisted draft that has undergone a full, fresh independent AI-assisted technical audit of source coverage, translation, formulas, tables and figures where present, and rendered output. This is not a claim of human scholarly review or certification of the historical mathematics. Version 2 is reserved for a fully reviewed edition.
