This will be made evident by supposing the above figure inverted, D being made the upper point and the balls allowed to fall from...
Página 46 - ... distance between two points.* Allowing the accuracy of this definition, it appears that two points are necessary to constitute motion ; that in all cases when we are inquiring whether or no any body or point is in motion, we must recur to some other point which we can compare with it, and that if 9 single atom existed • alone in the universe, it could neither be said to be in motion nor at rest.
Página 20 - Let the arc of a semicircle on the diameter AB be trisected in the points D, E ; C being the center ; join AD, AE, CD, CE ; then the difference of the segments on AD and AE, may be proved to be equal to the sector ACD or DCE.
Página 144 - Two balls are fixed to the ends of rods, in continual revolution, and as soon as the motion becomes a little too rapid, the balls rise considerably," and, by the intervention of a lever, act upon a throttle-valve*, which diminishes the quantity of steam admitted, and of course serves to make the motion less rapid.
