Page 51 - It is defined as the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of one gram of the substance one degree centigrade.
Page 53 - Archimedes stated that a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
Page 16 - ... the sum of all the forces acting in one direction on the lever is equal to the sum of all the forces acting in the opposite direction.
Page 20 - Art. 963 it was stated that the specific gravity of a body was the ratio between the weight of the body and the weight of an equal volume of water, but no methods were given for finding this ratio. Some of these methods will now be explained. Archimedes' principle affords an easy and accurate method of finding the specific gravity of solids not easily soluble in water.
Page 65 - Energy = —-{-« *g where V is the mean velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and d is the depth of water. When the velocity of the water approaches the velocity of the elementary wave, the total energy of flow becomes unstable and variations in the profile of the free water surface will result. If the change in velocity is rapid a standing wave will form. 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Specific En«rg...
Page 71 - The length and tension being the same, the number of vibrations per second varies inversely as the square root of the mass per unit length of the string.
Page 115 - Measure the distances from the lens to the object, and from the lens to the image, and calculate / from the lens formula.
