Popular passages
Page 84 - A body immersed in a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it.
Page 85 - ... the ratio of the ovendry weight of a sample to the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the sample at some specific moisture content, as green, air-dry, or ovendry.
Page 19 - Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far as it may be compelled by impressed forces to change that state.
Page 12 - ... line drawn from the beginning of the first to the end of the last, the vectors being added in any order whatever.
Page 108 - ... twenty years ago, sought to graft upon this basis a system of psychology ; and two years ago a second and greatly amplified edition of his work appeared. Those who...
Page 210 - It is therefore necessary to specify all these things in defining the unit of heat. The accepted unit of heat is defined as that quantity of heat which will raise the temperature of one gram of water from 15 to 16 degrees Centigrade. This unit is called a calorie. In the English system, the British thermal unit (BT...
Page 117 - A mixture of two or more gases having no chemical action upon each other, exerts a pressure equal to the sum of the pressures which would be exerted by each of the constituent gases separately if allowed to fill the containing vessel alone at the given temperature.
Page 115 - ... mysterious chemical facts, and has done more for the rationalization of chemistry than any other of its recent advances. Solutions are no longer liquids in which gases, solids or other liquids have been dissolved. They include mixtures of any of these kinds of matter with any other. They have been defined as "homogeneous mixtures which cannot be separated into their constituent parts by mechanical means, the proportion between the parts being continuously variable between certain limits, with...
Page 170 - Again, if a closed pipe 20 cm long respond to a given fork, it will be found that an open pipe of the same diameter and same length will respond to a fork an octave higher than the first fork. This shows that the pitch of an open pipe is an octave higher than that of a closed pipe of the same length.
Page 51 - If now a definite force be applied to a rotating body at any point, the resulting angular acceleration will vary greatly? according to the direction of the force and the distance of its point of application from the axis of rotation. Thus, in order to produce rotation, a force must have a component normal to the...
