الصفحة 24 - ... contraction. Thus, if a pillar of metal one hundred inches in height, being raised in temperature, is augmented in height by a quarter of an inch, the force with which such increase of height is produced is equal to a weight which being placed upon the top of the pillar would compress it so as to diminish its height by a quarter of an inch. In the same manner, if a rod of metal one hundred inches in length be contracted by diminished temperature so as to render its length a quarter of an inch...

But if our senses were keen enough to show us all the details of the bodies which the physicist studies, the spectacle thus disclosed would hardly differ from the one which the astronomer...
