8 THE LEVER. w the body (the weight of which is to be found) is suspended at the end s of the shorter arm, and the constant weight p is moved along the graduated arm till there shall be an equili¬ brium. Let it be assumed that the scale and heavy ball at … s keep the lever in equilibrium or in a horizontal position when the load w and the weight p are removed, as is the case with some steelyards. Now, let w and p be applied to the steelyard so that they may balance each other; then P X CP therefore, when c p = c s, w pxcp = w x c s or w = ■ c s will…
