Church, Irving P[orter], 1851- [from old catalog] · New York, J. Wiley & sons · leaf 321
according as h ^A.l 264, Hydrostatic Pressure Against a Vertical Plank.— Fromelementary hydrostatics we know that the pressure, perunit area, of quiescent water against the vertical side of atank, varies directly with the depth, x, below the surface,and equals the weight of a prism of water whose… … Fig. 268. The plank is of rectangular cross section, its constantbreadth, = b, being r~ to the paper, and receives no sup-port except at its two extremities, 0 and B, 0 being levelwith the water surface. The loading, or pressure, per unitof length of the beam, is here variable and, by above…
