...as PA, half the breadth of the wedge, to PB its height SCHOL. I. Since in all the mechanical powers, an equilibrium is produced, when the power is to the weight as the velocity of the weight is to the velocity of the power, in all compound machines there will be an equilibrium,... | |

...equal to the weight or resistance, multiplied by the distance between two contiguous threads ;" or, " The power is to the weight, as the distance between two contiguous threads is to the circumference described by the power." It frequently happens, that the lever by which the power acts is attached... | |

...continued in the Fig. 96. same manner. By Art. 131, when the power acts parallel to the base of the plane, an equilibrium is produced when the power is to the weight as the height of the plane to its base; or, applied to the screw, an equilibrium is produced, when the power... | |
