...the means is equal to the product of the extremes, PS = R |; and dividing each of these equals by S, From theorem 2 we derive the following rule for finding...separate two moveable bodies whose resistance together is 240/6*. ? Here R is given = 240/fe., H = 4, and S = 12, and P, the power, is sought. By theor. 2, 2...
