of water for heat is 9 times that of iron, IS times that of silver,and 31 times that of platinum. So also the capacity of iron is twice thatof silver and 3^ times that of platinum. 69. The method by cooling, known also as the metho ofDulong and Petit, gives very exact results, but in… … and observing the rapidity with -which they cool. Those bodieiwhich, like mercury, have a low capacity for heat and there-fore contain but little of it, require far less time to cool througha given number of degrees than those which, like water, have agreat capacity for heat. 70. The method by…
