due Galileosto the resting weight of the water in I is lost and re- ment.placed by an action of impact on vessel II. Galileoexpected a depression of the whole scale, by which hehoped with the assistance of a counter-weight to de-termine the effect of the impact. He was to some ex-tent surprised to… … Fig- 157- first, a diminution of the pressure. This consists of Expiana-two factors : (i) The weight of the jet suspended in experi-the air is lost; and (2) A reaction-pressure upwards isexerted by the effluent jet on vessel I (which acts likea Segners wheel). Then there is an increase of pres-sure…
