...the actions of the power and weight are equal, and deftroy each others effect upon the engine, when the power is to the weight, as the velocity of the weight is to the velocity of the power. But tho' it is ufeful and agreeable, to obferve how uniformly this principle prevails in engines of... | |

As the distance between the body to be raised, or balanced, and the fulcrum, or prop, is to the distance between the prop and the point where the power is applied, so is the power to the weight which it will balance.
