Page 50 - S = length of stroke in feet. R = number of revolutions per minute.
Page 297 - A battery of twelve equal cells in series screwed up in a box, being suspected of having some of the cells wrongly connected, is put into circuit with a galvanometer and two cells similar to the others. Currents in the...
Page 22 - The characteristic of the logarithm of a number greater than unity, is one less than the number of integral figures in the given number.
Page 7 - After discussion the following resolutions were agreed to : — 1. That the resistance of a specified column of mercury be adopted as the practical unit of resistance. 2. That 14-4521 grammes of mercury in the form of a column of uniform cross section 106-3 cm.
Page 184 - Taking the mechanical equivalent as 1400 foot-pounds per degree centigrade, determine the heat produced in stopping by friction a fly-wheel 112 Ibs. in mass, and 2 ft.
Page 23 - The logarithm of a quotient is found by subtracting the logarithm of the divisor from that of the dividend.
Page 321 - Leyden jar consists of two concentric spherical surfaces of 5 and 6 cm. diameter respectively, the intervening space being filled with air. The outer sphere is uninsulated, the inner is charged with 20 units of electricity. How much work is done when the inner sphere is put to earth ? SK 1895.
Page 253 - How much energy is expended in carrying a charge of 50 units of electricity from a place where the potential is 20 to another where it is 30? What is meant by saying that the potential of a conductor is 20?
Page 97 - In a medium condition of the atmosphere, and near the sea-level, barometrical observations give the pressure or weight equal to that of a column of mercury, 30 inches high, or of a column of water about 34 feet high.
Page 22 - If, therefore, a number is an exact power of 10, its logarithm is a whole number. If a number is not an exact power of 10, its logarithm will not be a whole number, but will be made up of an entire part plus a fractional part, which is generally expressed decimally. The entire part of the logarithm is called the characteristic ; the decimal part is called the mantissa.
