...a fluid is as the square of the velocity; and putting r~ velocity in feet in a second ; it is equal to the weight of a column of the fluid, whose base is the plane, and height — . And in a globe 64 it is but half so much. 5. As to the mechanic powers,... | |

...pressure of a fluid against any upright surface, as the gate of a sluice or canal, is equal to half the weight of a column of the fluid, whose base is equal to the surface pressed, and its altitude the same as that of the surface. Or, by art. 31* of the same, the pressure is equal to the weight of... | |
