...under constant volume, he estimated that 'the warming of an equal weight of water from 0°C to 1°C corresponds to the fall of an equal weight from the height of about 365 metres'. Details of the calculation, however, were not published until 1845, and then only privately.77 Mayer's... | |

...others' experiments, and deduced a figure: "the warming of a given weight of water from o° to 1°C corresponds to the fall of an equal weight from the height of about 365 meters [1,200 feet]." This seemed to most readers like a comparison of apples and oranges. This article... | |
