...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...

...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...through a space equal to the depth of the orifice. Suppose AB to be a cylinder, having a piston, r, fitting it airtight, ab a small portion of fluid which...

...from a small orifice in the bottom or side of a vessel, kept constantly full, is equal to thai ivhich 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, p, fitting it airtight, ab a small portion of fluid which...

...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...

...space. Hence we conclude that a fluid issues from an aperture with a velocity equal to that which a body would acquire in falling through a space equal to the depth of the aperture below the surface of the fluid : thus if AB is 16 feet the velocity of the jet will be 32...

...space. Hence we conclude that a fluid issues from an aperture with a velocitg equal to that which a bodg would acquire in falling through a space equal to the depth of the aperture below the surface of the fluid : thus, if AB is 16 feet, the velocity of the jet will be 32...

...a vessel which is kept constantly full, the velocity will be equal to that acquired by a heavy body in falling through a space equal to the depth of the orifice below the line of level of the fluid. Putting x for this depth, the velocity will be equal to (2gx)2. Let A =...

...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,...

...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,...
