Σελίδα 62 - To explain the construction of the common barometer, and to shew that the mercury is sustained in it by the pressure of the air on the surface of the mercury in the basin.
Σελίδα iv - Definition of Pulley. Prop. 11. In the single moveable pulley where the strings are parallel, there is an equilibrium when the power is to the weight as 1 to 2. Prop. 12. In a system in which the same string passes round any number of pulleys and the parts of it between the pulleys are parallel, there is an equilibrium when power (P) : weight (W) :: 1 : the number of strings at the lower block.
Σελίδα iv - There is an equilibrium upon the wheel and axle when the power is to the weight as the radius of the axle to the radius of the wheel.
Σελίδα 7 - U equal to their sum. Prop. 3. If two forces acting perpendicularly on a straight lever in opposite directions and on the same side of the fulcrum balance each other, they are inversely as their distances from the fulcrum ; and the pressure on the fulcrum is equal to the difference of the forces.
Σελίδα v - When a body is placed on a horizontal plane, it will stand or fall, according as the vertical line, drawn from its centre of gravity, falls within or without its base. Prop. 23. When a body is suspended from a point, it will rest with its centre of gravity in the vertical line passing through the point of suspension.
Σελίδα ii - ALGEBRA. 1. Definitions and explanations of algebraical signs and terms. 2. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of simple algebraical quantities and simple algebraical fractions. 3. Algebraical definitions of ratio and proportion. 4. If a : b :: c : d then ad = bc, and the converse : d : c, 6.
Σελίδα iv - The weight (W) being on an inclined plane and the force (P) acting parallel to the plane, there is an equilibrium when P : W :: the height of the plane : its length. Definition of Velocity. Prop. 15. Assuming that the arcs which subtend equal angles at the centres of two circles are as the radii of the circles, to shew that if P and W...
Σελίδα 35 - To find the centre of gravity of two heavy points ; and to shew that the pressure at the centre of gravity is equal to the sum of the weights in all positions. Prop. 19. To find the centre of gravity of any number of heavy points; and to shew that the pressure at the centre of gravity is equal to the sum of the weights in all positions. Prop. 20. To find the centre of gravity of a straight line. Prop. 21. To find the centre of gravity of a triangle. Prop.
