...Here it is evident that a few grains of water sustain as much as the H.\tii>MtM*r<. PITOUV* of fluids. weight of a column of water, whose base is equal to the diameter of <()«• vessel KtJ, and its height equal to that in the tube. Thus the column Lit, produces...

...5.), it will be measured according to what we have said respecting the lifting pump (art. 528.), by the weight of a column of water whose base is equal to CD, and height that of XY above ns. Here, too, we drop the consideration of friction and the weight...

...repeating the operation may be raised to the required altitude. The pressure upon the piston is equal to the weight of a column of water whose base is equal to that of the piston, and altitude the distance of the surface of the water in the ascending tube from...

...determinate height Y//, it will be measured according to what we have said respecting the lifting pump by the weight of a column of water whose base is equal to CD, and height that of XY above RS. Here, too, we leave out of consideration the friction and the weight...

...l'application d'une force empruntée, et que son effet serait égale au poids d'une would be equal to the weight of a column of water, whose base is equal to the sum of the areas of the pistons engaged, and altitude as the height of the fluid in the pipe L. Moreover,...

...atmosphere. Let h be the number of feet in the height BH", and 34-|- h will express the number of feet in a column of water, whose base is equal to the section of the piston, and whose weight is equal to the whole downward pressure sustained by the piston. On the other hand, the upward...

...water from the valve v to the surface of the water in the tube C E. The actual amount of this force is the weight of a column of water, whose base is equal to the horizontal section of the piston, and whose height is equal to the height of the surface of the water...

...will fill themselves from the well K. The power of a machine of this kind may be slated as being equal to the weight of a column of water whose base is equal to the heigh t of the fluid in the pipe L ; and .were this pipe a transparent tube, with a graduated scale...
