tre of gravity in centimetres,we have, by geometry, for the volume of the column of liquidwhose weight represents the pressure, V=H. S, in which Vstands for a certain number of cubic centimetres. But we knowby [56], that W= V. Sp. Gr., and hence, if we represent thepressure exerted on any section… … 228 CHEMICAL PHYSICS. (128.) Hydrostatic Paradox. — It is evident from (123), thattlie pressure of a liquid on tlie bottom of the containing vesselmay be very much greater than the weightof liquid it contains. For example, thepressure of the liquid on the bottom of thevessel D C, Fig. 222, is the…
