...stone varies as the cube of its diameter, it follows that the weight of stone which a current can move varies as the sixth power of the velocity of the current. Thus a curreot of 2 fps will be able to move particles four times the size and sixty-four times the weight... | |

...the weight of the largest block of a given form which it is capable of transporting. Thus estimated, the force varies as the sixth power of the velocity...the velocity were treble that of the first case, the weight of the cube which could be moved by it would be 729 times as great, and so on. This is the result... | |

... increased, its ability to transport material increased not by an arithmetical ratio but by a geometrical one (p. 226). A curious consequence results from this law, when we estimate the force of the current by weight of the largest block of a given...
