ore betransmitted to the opposite side, EF, and will cause motion inthe equal piston P,, unless counterpoised by an opposite forceof one pound. If this counterpoise be applied, then, since theparticles move freely among each other without resistancefrom friction or cohesion, the particles in the… … 238 HYDROSTATICS. pressure of one pound. Hence both pistons V\ and P, willsustain the same pressure by the action of P,. Further, if the pistons Pa and P, were contiguous, or oneof them twice the size of P1? then it is obvious that a force oftwo pounds would be necessary to preserve the equilibrium…
