...itfelf; as will appear from the following experiment. Let Since a folid when immerfed in a liquid, lofes as much of its weight, as is equal to the weight of a portion of the liquid of the fame dimenfions with the folid, it follows, that all bodies whatever,...

...is, to weigh the fame fubftance in different fluids ; and becaufe the diminution it fuffers in weight is equal to the weight of a quantity ' 'of the fluid of the fame bulk, we thence obtain ' the weights of equal quantities of different fluids, and the fpecific gravities...

...body heavier than water, when immerfed in it, difplaces a quantity of water equal to its own bulk, and lofes as much of its weight as is equal to the weight of that bulk of water. By weighing metals in water, we can difcover their adulterations or mixtures with...

...immerged may be confide red as equally prefled on all fides. 15. Every folid immerfed in a fluid, lofes fo much of its weight, as is equal to the weight of a quantity of that fluid of the fame dimenfion with the folid. 1 6. The fluid acquires the weight the folid lofes....

...fluid. 12. A body links in a fluid that is fpecifically heavier, fo far, as that the weight of the body is equal to the weight of a quantity of the fluid of the fame bulk as the part of the body which is imtnerfed in the fluid. Therefore, as the fpec'wc gravity of the fluid...

...filled with water, preponderates with the weight of 200 grains. Since a folid when immerfed in a liquid, lofes as much of its weight, as is equal to the weight of a portion of the liquid of the fame dimenfions with the folid, it follows, that all bodies whatever,...

...body heavier than water, when immerfed in it, difplaces a quantity of water equal to its own bulk, and lofes as much of its weight as is equal to the weight of that bulk of witer. By weighing metals in water, we can difcover their adulterations or mixtures with...

...gravities. 7. A body specifically heavier than a fluid, loses as much of its weight when immersed in it, as is equal to the weight of a quantity of the fluid of the same bulk or magnitude. Hence, since the specific gravities are as the absolute gravities under the...

...use of this instrument is founded on the theorem of Archimedes, that any body weighed in water, loses as much of its weight, as is equal to the weight of the same bulk of water. The accident which led to this theorem, and established a principle, whose...
