Сторінка 64 - It is hardly necessary to add that anything which any insulated body, or system of bodies, can continue to furnish without limitation, cannot possibly be a material substance; and it appears to me to be extremely difficult, if not quite impossible, to form any distinct idea of anything capable of being excited and communicated in the manner the Heat was excited and communicated in these experiments, except it be MOTION.
Сторінка 11 - ... the perpendicular distance from the axis to the line of action of the force.
Сторінка 29 - Archimedes' principle, that a body immersed in water is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the water displaced by the body.
Сторінка 2 - Things that are equal to the same thing are equal to one another," and the theorems of Euclid. The law that portions of matter attract each other with a force varying inversely as the square of the distance, does not seem to offer any explanation of the perturbations of Uranus, or the rising of a balloon.
Сторінка 67 - The ratio of the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance through a given range to the heat required to raise the temperature of an equal mass of water through the same range.
Сторінка 33 - Dalton, the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each gas in the mixture.
Сторінка 31 - ... in that longer part of the tube was 29 inches higher than the other. Now that this observation does both very well agree with and confirm our hypothesis...
Сторінка 5 - True or Apparent Solar Time is measured by the diurnal motion of the Sun, the length of the day being the interval between two successive transits of the Sun over the same meridian, and the time of day being the hour-angle of the Sun westward from the meridian.
Сторінка 23 - It will be noted that the retarding of the pendulum swing is a measure of work done, that is, the product of the force and the distance through which it acts.
