...Power P, which are in Equilibrio with each other. Now whenever the Lever is put into Motion, it is evident, the Velocity of the Power will be to that of the Weight as the Diftance CB to the Diftance AC ; and therefore the Quantity of Matter in P will be lefs than that in W in the fame Proportion....
