Page 43 - A conic always touches four given straight lines ; prove that the chord of intersection of the circle, described about any one of the triangles formed by three of these straight lines, with the circle which is the locus of the intersection of two tangents to the conic at right angles to each other, always passes through a fixed point.
Page 254 - In discussing the stability of position of masonry towers, let the distance of the centre of pressure from the centre of figure of the section of the pier be denoted by q. If this latter does not exceed q (the limit of safety for q"), which may be ascertained by determining the line of resistance for the pier, stability of position will be secured. It is supposed, of course, that 0 has some value greater than zero ; otherwise q...
