...charged with to produce it. It is known that the velocity with which a fluid rushes into a vacuum, is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through a height equal to the head of pressure. ..To find the velocity, therefore, with which steam, say at the...

...of air CD, by the rarefaction of the furnace; then the velocity produced by such rarefaction will be equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through the space E D. Now, the increase of the height DE will be proportional to the length of the column...

...25. And therefore that running water, in passing through the hole itself, has a velocity downwards equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through half the height of the stagnant water in the vessel, nearly. But then after it has run out it is still...

...the water in repose, the height of the wave crest above the plane of repose, if we take the velocity which a heavy body would acquire in falling through a space equal to half the depth of the fluid (reckoning from the ridge of the wave to the bottom of the channel), that...

...the water in repose, the height of the wave crest above the plane of repose, if we take the velocity which a heavy body would acquire in falling through a space equal to half the depth of the fluid (reckoning from the ridge of the wave to the bottom of the channel), that...

...small impulse communicated to a fluid, would be transmitted every way along its surface with a velocity equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through half the depth of the fluid ; and I have reason to believe, from observation and experiment, that where...

...to. We know that, theoretically, the velocity with which a fluid issues from an orifice, ought to be equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through the altitude of the fluid above the point of projection ; but we have also seen, in the preceding sections,...

...expressed in inches. — (Play/air's Outlines.} 12. The velocity with which air rushes into a vacuum is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling from a height equal to that of a homogeneous atmosphere equivalent in weight to that of the air at...

...bottom of a vessel, kept constantly futt, is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in fatting through a space equal to the depth of the orifice below the surface of the fluid. Let AB be the surface of the fluid, D the small orifice. Consider the fluid to...

...The velocity of a fluid issuing from a small orifice at the bottom of a vessel, kept constantly full, is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling tlirough a space equal to the depth of the orffice below the surface of the fluid. Let AB be the surface...
