Page 8 - If a particle moves in consequence of the continued action upon it of a constant force, show what is the character of the resulting motion, and in what manner it depends on the magnitude of the force and the mass of the particle.
Page 7 - ... water and escaping steam hotter than the single flame was able to render them. Why not ? How much steam at 100° C. is required to raise the temperature of 54 ounces of water from 0° C. to 100° C., the latent heat of steam being taken = 540° ? 9. One pound of boiling water at 100° C.

Page 8 - ... A very small force R at a very great distance would have sensibly the same moment round all points between A and B or anywhere in their neighbourhood, and the moment of R is always equal to the algebraic sum of the moments of P and Q. When Q is equal to P, they compose what is called a couple, and the algebraic sum of their moments about any point in their plane is constant, being always equal to P . AB, which is therefore called the moment of the couple.
Page 5 - Three strings are tied in a knot ; the ends of two of them are fastened to pegs ; and the third has a known weight attached to it. Give a construction for finding the forces pulling the pegs ; and from the construction show to what these two forces respectively become almost equal when one of the supporting strings is almost long enough to allow the other to hang in a vertical position.
Page 8 - Through what vertical distance must a heavy body fall from rest in order to acquire a velocity of 161 feet per second ? If it continue falling for another second after having acquired the above velocity, through what distance will it fall in that time?
Page 5 - A thousand cubic inches of air at the temperature of 30° C. are cooled down to zero, and at the same time the external pressure upon the air is doubled. What is its volume reduced to, the coefficient of expansion of air being -00366 ? Answer.
Page 6 - A mass of 488 grammes is fastened to one end of a cord which passes over a smooth pulley. What mass must be attached to the other end in order that the 488 grammes may rise through a height of 200 centimetres in 10 seconds 1 (g = 980.) 41.
