of Gravity, they have a Tendency
to move with as great a Velocity
as that which the Water itself
would have meet
with no resistance against
the Bed of the River, their motion
is not impeded till we come
to consider the resistance they
meet with in the Water itself
but they meet with none till
their motion exceeds that of
the water, their motion then
must exceed that of the water
and that the more so the less
they are affected by that
Hence the better their shape is
adapted to divide the water
and the greater proportion their
gravity bears to their surface
of resistance the quicker they
will be impelled by their
gravity the medium
which tends to retard their motion
would acquire were it
not for the resistance they
with
