...as will appear from the following experiment. Let Since a folid when immerfed in a liquid, lofes as much of its weight, as is equal to the weight of a portion of the liquid of the fame dimenfions with the folid, it follows, that all bodies whatever,...

...is, to weigh the fame fubftance in different fluids ; and becaufe the diminution it fuffers in weight is equal to the weight of a quantity ' 'of the fluid of the fame bulk, we thence obtain ' the weights of equal quantities of different fluids, and the fpecific...

...immerged may be confide red as equally prefled on all fides. 15. Every folid immerfed in a fluid, lofes fo much of its weight, as is equal to the weight of a quantity of that fluid of the fame dimenfion with the folid. 1 6. The fluid acquires the weight the folid lofes....

...a body is immcrfed in a fluid that is fpecificaliy lighter than the body, the body lofes as rr.uch of its weight as is equal to the weight of a quantity of the fluid of the fame bulk or magnitude. 0 Therefore , the fpecific gravities of two bodies are as the abfolute gravities,...

...water, preponderates with the weight of 200 grains. Since a folid when immerfed in a liquid, lofes as much of its weight, as is equal to the weight of a portion of the liquid of the fame dimenfions with the folid, it follows, that all bodies whatever,...

...gravities. 7. A body specifically heavier than a fluid, loses as much of its weight when immersed in it, as is equal to the weight of a quantity of the fluid of the same bulk or magnitude. Hence, since the specific gravities are as the absolute gravities under the same bulk;...

...7. When a body ii immerfed in a fluid that is fpecificalij lighter than the body, the body lofes as much of its weight as is equal to the weight of a quantity of the fluid of the fame bulk or magnitude. Therefore, the fpecific gravities of two bodies are as the abfolute gravities,...

...the upward pressure. The fluid therefore sustains so much of the gravity of the body, or takes away so much of its weight, as is equal to the Weight of that quantity of fluid which would fill the place taken up by the body Or thus ; A body endeavours...

...heavier than water, you may take it as an axiom, that " every body, when immersed in •water, loses as much of its weight as is equal to the weight of a bulk of water of the same magnitude." I will now place this empty box on ih* bason filled to the edge...

...body is placed, it is sustained by the fluid, and carried up with a force equal to the difference of the weight of a quantity of the fluid of the same bulk as the body, from the weight of the body ; there 4s therefore a force which continually acts equably...
