Excerpt: ... Sect. XLTV. The lateral Prejsure adapts itself to the Heights and not to the Breadth of Water. XLVIII. We likewise observ'd upon placing a flat Board or Partition Tab. XXVIII. Fig. 2.) Tab, after such a Manner, that the Water, which before press'd upon D HR S, became divided, or had not above the half a K of its former Breadth KG, that the lateral Pressure was not leslfen'd whilst the Water continued at its first Height K G. So that from hence also it appear'd, that the Powers of the lateral Pressure remain the fame, whether the Breadth of the Water be increas'd or diminifiVd; but that upon augmenting or lessening the Height of Water, those Powers are accordingly augmented or lessened. Sect. XLV. The lateral Pressure of Water, with Air pressing upon the same. XLIX. But forasmuch as in these Experiments of Lateral Pressures we have supposed Water to be the uppermost Fluid, so that, for Instance, in the Vessel A BCD Tab. XXVII. Fig. 4.) we are to suppose there is no other fluid Matter above the Superficies of the Water A C, the following Difficulty seemed to arise, namely, that the lateral Pressure of the said Water A C upon A B would be much greater than it is found to be by, these Experiments; because the Air between AC and 000, &c. actually pressing upon AB with the Weight of 30 Foot of Water Caccording to the Barometer) the lateral Pressure against A B would appear to be considerably increased. N n n 3. But But upon the whole Matter, we shall shew by the following Calculation, that the lateral Pressure of Water in the Vessel A B D C upon A B, is not ib much increas'd by the Weight of the Air above A C, as t.hat the Force which A B withstands, or which should preis inwardly against C D (like the Weight in the foregoing Ballance, Fig. 2.) could be sensibl...
