Take two level lines, AB, AB, a small distance ^s apart. 248… … Fig. 104. posing they are indefinitely close together, A x dz. The moment of this layer about the L.W.L. will be A. s. dz. The difference between the lengths of AB and AB will evidently be the weight of the volume of water between those two level lines, A X dzor . Draw BC, BC vertically as shown.…
