Сторінка 158 - A body immersed in a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it.
Сторінка 159 - Archimedes stated that a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
Сторінка 23 - Every body continues in a state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by a force impressed upon it.
Сторінка 214 - ... air and the smallness of the tube. The bulb is therefore heated, when the air within expands, and a portion escapes in bubbles through the mercury. On cooling, the pressure of the external atmosphere forces a quantity of mercury through the tube into the bulb. By repeating this operation a few times, the bulb and a portion of the tube are filled with mercury. The whole is then heated till the mercury boils, thus filling the tube, when the funnel is melted off and the tube hermetically sealed...

Сторінка 334 - When a ray of light passes from one medium to another, it is refracted so that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of the velocities in the two media.
Сторінка 333 - It may also be defined as the sine of the angle of incidence divided by the sine of the angle of refraction, as light passes from air into the substance.
Сторінка 126 - TORRICELLI'S experiment, take a glass tube about three feet in length, closed at one end and open at the other. Turning the closed end downwards, let it be filled with mercury. Then holding the finger over the open end, let it be inverted in a vessel of mercury, as shown in Fig. 75. On removing the finger, the mercury sinks in the tube until the column.
