...moving with uniform velocity ina circle under the action of a given centripetal force, describes in any time, is a mean proportional between the diameter of the circle, and the space through which the body would fall from rest under the action of the same force and in the same time. For, let AL... | |

...the circumference is, therefore, 4/15' — 12*, or 4/8T, or 9 inches. Then, the chord of half the arc is a mean proportional between the diameter of the circle and the 9 inches, the height of the segment. Hence, the diameter is equal to -„-, or 25 in. Ans. (2) By Art.... | |
