...The proposition holds, whether a body sink in a fluid or float on its surface. When a body floats, the weight of the water displaced is equal to the weight of the body. 248. The difference between the absolute weight of a body, and its weight when entirely immersed... | |

...whole weight of the ship, supposing a cubic inch of sea water to weigh .5949 of an ounce avoirdupois ? The weight of the water displaced is equal to the weight of the ship. 216 gallons = 1 tun. 1300 x 216 = 280800 gallons ; and if we take 277 2738 cubic inches to the... | |

...to know what weight must be added to it, so as to make the upper surface level with the water : — The weight of the water displaced is equal to the weight of the body; but when the upper surface is level with the water, there is a cubic foot of water displaced,... | |

...examples are given to illustrate this important rule. On page 59, is the method of finding the metacentre of a floating body, in which we remark three faults....A B." Now these are the conditions of equilibrium and'iiot those of stability. The condition of stability is, that the metacentre be above the centre... | |
