...of circumflances. The velocity of the water fpouting from a fmall hole in the bottom of the veflel, is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling vertically from a height equal to that of the furface of the fluid above the aperture. The fame law...

...quantity of water difcharged determined on the fup. pofition that the velocity with which it fpouts is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through half the height of the furface of the water above the aperture. But neither this hypothefis, nor any...

...demonftrated, that the velocity with which water fpouts from an aperture in the bottom or fide of a veflel, is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through the height of the fluid above the orifice. This demonftration, however, as Mr. Atwood obferves, is...

...to 25. And therefore that running water in paffing through the hole itfelf has a velocity downwards equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through half the height of the ftagnant water in the veflel, nearly. But, then, after it has run out, it is...

...subduplicate ratio of 2 to I , he concluded that the velocity of the effluent water in the orifice was equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through half the altitude. But all this is true only of the mean velocity; for there is no cause which can...

...described with that altitude as its radius. " Cor. i. He thence shows, that the velocity of the pulses is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling down half the altitude of that homogeneous atmosphere ; and therefore, that all pulses move equally...

...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...
