This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 Excerpt: ...of the suspending chain in a diving bell which occupies any position in water. Ans. The weight of the bell and its appurtenances diminished by the weight of the water which is displaced from all causes. (The water is displaced by the chain, the thickness of the bell, and the air within the bell; the weight of this water is the force of buoyancy. In strictness, the weight of the contained air should be added to that of the bell.) 6. If at the bottom of a river 40 feet deep, when the temperature is 40 F, a bubble of air has the volume--g of a cubic inch, what will be its volume on reaching the surface where the temperature is 50 F, and the height of a water barometer is 34 feet 1 Ans.--r cubic inches. 1o6 7. If an open vessel (such as a tumbler) made of a substance whose specific gravity is greater than that of water is forced, mouth downwards, into water, show that its equilibrium becomes unstable after a certain depth has been reached. (If the volume of the solid substance of the vessel is v, and in any position of the vessel if X is the volume of its compressed air, the downward force, P, required to hold it in equilibrium is given by the equation P = Xw--v (w'--w), where w = specific weight of water, tc'= specific weight of substance of vessel. Hence when X is so far diminished by forcing the vessel down that Xw = v(w--w), the pressure P vanishes, and after this an upward pull would be required.) 8. Ifu is small (i.e., if the thickness of the vessel is small). and if V is the volume of the interior of the vessel, prove that when the position of instability is reached, the depth of the top of the vessel below the surface of the water is approximatelv where k is the height of a water barometer at the surface. 9. If v cubic inches of the external air at the ...
