...to. We know that, theoretically, the velocity with which a fluid issues from an orifice, ought to be equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through the altitude of the fluid above the point of projection ; but we have also seen, in the preceding sections,...

...consequence of b being expressed in inches. — (Play/air's Outlines.} 12. The velocity with which air rushes into a vacuum is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling from a height equal to that of a homogeneous atmosphere equivalent in weight to that of the air at...

...The velocity of a fluid issuing from a small orifice at the bottom of a vessel, kept constantly full, is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling tlirough a space equal to the depth of the orffice below the surface of the fluid. Let AB be the surface...

...velocity. According to theory, this terminal velocity, supposing the surface of the parachute to Vie flat, is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling though the altitude of a column of , air incumbent on that surface, and having the same weight as the...

...of the atmosphere, rushes through an orifice into a vacuum with a velocity (= 1339 feet in a second) equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through a height equal to that of a homogeneous atmosphere. Thus, also, knowing the temperature of steam, and consequently its...

...velocity of a fluid issuing from a small orifice in the bottom or side of a vessel, kept constantly full, is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through a space equal to the depth of the orifice. Suppose AB to be a cylinder, having a piston, r, fitting it...

...time (DYNAMICS, page 134). Consequently the fluid issues from the orifice A with a constant velocity equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through the height В А. If this height be A feet, the accelerating force of gravity being g = 32'2 feet,...

...direct application of the theory of the passage of fluids into a vacuum. According to this theory, the velocity with which a fluid rushes into a vacuum is equal to that which a body would acquire in falling from a height equal to that of the column of fluid. In applying this...

...breadth of a wave is very great in comparison with the depth of water, the velocity of its progress is equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling by gravity through half the depth of the liquid. The velocity of such a wave for different depths of...

...any small impulse communicated to its surface will be transmitted in every direction with a velocity equal to that which a heavy body would acquire in falling through half the depth of the fluid. This statement is strictly correct for long waves moving in shallow water,...
