...Force of any given Quantity TKGV, bow great foever. XIII. WHEN any Body is immerfed in a Fluid, it lofes juft fo much of its Weight as is equal to the Weigbt of an equal Bulk of the Fluid ; ' j. Thus fince the Weight of Air prefles upon every Square...

...14. By the fame Principle in Fluids, it is, 'That a heavy Body imnierfed in them, always loofesjuftfo much of its Weight as is equal to the Weight of an equal Bulk of the 'Fluid. For no Body can defcend in a Fluid without faifing an equal Bulk of that Fluid ; and that equal Bulk of the Fluid...

...that the hydroftatic ba* Jancc is founded j for if every folid, on being im~ jnerfed in a fluid, Jofes fo much of its weight as is equal to the weight of an equal bulk of that fluid, it follows, that the lighter the body is, the greater jpropprtjpn Of its weight it will...

...immerged may be confide red as equally prefled on all fides. 15. Every folid immerfed in a fluid, lofes fo much of its weight, as is equal to the weight of a quantity of that fluid of the fame dimenfion with the folid. 1 6. The fluid acquires the weight the...

...gravity. In the same sense too, we say that bodies specifically lighter than a fluid, lose as much weight, as is equal to the weight of an equal bulk of the fluid, which is more than what they have; when we only mean, that they are pressed upwards with a force, that...

...that of the body. Laftly, if it be heavier than an equal bulk of the fluid, it will defcend, and lofe juft fo much of its weight, as is equal to the weight of its bulk of the fluid — Hence, the quantity of water that a fhip displaces, is exaftly equal in weight...

...of water exactly equal to its own bulk, it follows, that every body when immersed in water loses so much of its weight as is equal to the weight of an equal bulk of water. Thus, if the body, when weighed in air, is two ounces in weight, and an equal bulk of water...

...of ascertaining the duty, PROP. XVII. The weight which a body loses when wholly immersed in a fluid, is equal to the weight of an equal bulk of the fluid. (43.) First, let the body be of the same specific gravity as the fluid, and then it is manifest that...

...The method now employed, depends upon the principle that a body, when immersed in a fluid, loses as much of its weight as is equal to the weight of an equal volume of the fluid. § 327. Let S be the specific gravity of the solid body ; f ', that of the liquid...

...administrator. It is a principle in hydrostatics, that every body, when immersed in water, loses so much of its weight as is equal to the weight of an equal bulk of water. — That is, it loses about sixty-two pounds to every cubic foot of water displaced. Therefore...
