... force arising from the velocity of rotation ( N. 30 ) ; for the centrifugal force diminishes the gravity of the particles at the nator , and equilibrium can only exist where these two forces are balanced by an increase of gravity .

It appears that there exists an invariable plane ( N. 80 ) , passing through the centre of gravity of the system , about which the whole oscillates within very narrow limits , and that this plane will always remain parallel to itself ...
