a beam, tangential point of the pulley-wheel, equal like that in the following cut, is entirely to one-fifteenth the weight of the gasometer free. In practice it has answered perfectly: in pounds, minus its capacity in cubic feet, and, when we have described the mode of divided by twice 40, or 80.… … tion*for the buoyancy of the combustible Find (by trial, if possible; if not, by cal- culation) the weight of the gasometer when gas. In ordinary cases, we must regard it as holding a portion of petroleum vapour sunk so low, as that the top will be as near diffused through it, and cannot fairly…
