e presses and is pressed equally in every direction. Cor. 3. If all the pistons except P and P be firmly fixed,and P be forced in, since the fluid is incompressible, whateverfluid is displaced by P will be forced into the tube P. If h andh be the spaces through which the pistons move, a and a… … SURFACES OF EQUILIBRIUM. 239 SURFACES OF EQUILIBRIUM. 382. Prop. The free surface of a fluid subjected to the actionof an accelerating force is, when in equilibrium, perpendicularto the direction of the force. A liquid void of gravity will take and retain any form impressed upon it; but when…
