both these tangents being drawn in a downward direction, or towards the interior part or the fluid; z'= the extreme value of z, or the whole height of the column EA , which [10279'] is raised by the disk. and then extracting the square root, we get z', as in [10281], neglecting the third and higher… … moistened, the fluid will ascend on the vertical sides PQ, T U, of the cylinder, fig, 170, and [10280/] will adhere, so as to form with them, at the upper part of the fluid, the angle zs'. In this case, the general value of the angle T)Kk — \ a will become, at the side of the cylinder, [10280g-]…
