_With_ 4°, _on_ 1 Inch above 24, i.e. _on_ the 25th Inch: then,
_With_ 4°, _on_ .1 Tenth above 24: then,
_With_ 4°, _on_ .178 Tenths above 24.
1st Part of _Case the 2d._ To find the Expansion,
_With_ .6 above 4° _on_ 24; begin thus:
_With_ 4° _on_ 24 Inches: then,
_With_ 5° _on_ 24: then,
_With_ 1° above 4°, _on_ 24, i.e. the 5th°: then,
_With_ .1 Tenth above 4°, _on_ 24: then
_With_ .6 Tenths above 4°, _on_ 24.
2d Part of _Case the 2d._ To find the Expansion,
_With_ .6 Tenths above 4° of Heat _on_ .178 Tenths above 24 Inches: to
be done thus:
_The_ +expansion+ _with 4°, on .178 Tenths above 24 Inches, being once
found; divide_ +it+ _by 4: and the Quotient is the Expansion with 1°
above 4°, on .178 Tenths of an Inch above 24 Inches_.
_Then for the Expansion with .1 Tenth above 4°, on .178 Tenths above
24 Inches; add a Cypher and decimal Point to the left of the same
Quotient._
_Then for the Expansion with .6; multiply that Sum into .6, and add a
Cypher and decimal Point._
_The Answer is the_ +part+ _of an Inch, to which .6 Tenths of a Degree
above 4° of Heat, on .178 Tenths of an Inch above 24 Inches, raises the
Barometer_.
_It is true, the_ +part+ _is so minute as to be rejected: yet the Mode
of Proceeding, in order to investigate the Expansion with Precision, is
proper to be retained_.
392. +practice+ of the first Part of _Case the 1st._
For the Expansion _with_ 4°, _on_ 24 Inches; look, in the first Table,
(Sect. 363) and in the left vertical Column, _with_ 4 Degrees of the
Thermometer; and along the upper horizontal Line, _on_ 24 Inches of
Quicksilver in the Tube of the Barometer: the Point of Meeting gives
the Expansion .0097;[128] which, preparatory to Addition,
is to be placed under the 24, .178 thus,
.0097
+practice+ of the 2d Part of _Case the first_.
393. In order to obtain the Expansion, _with_ 4°, of Heat _on_
.178 Tenths of an Inch above 24 Inches of the Barometer; let it be
considered where it ought to be found in the Table: for, Tenths of 1
Inch above 24 Inches, are at some intermediate Point between 24 and 25;
that is, above 24, yet not so high as 25: or more than 24, yet less
than 25.
Look therefore in the Table, _with_ 4 Degrees of Heat, _on_ 24 Inches;
then _with_ 4° _on_ 25 Inches: and the respective Numbers are .0097 and
.0101.
And by taking the Expansion _with_ 4° _on_ 24 Inches, from 4° on 25;
the Remainder will be the Expansion with 4° on 1 Inch above 24 Inches,
viz. on the 25th Inch, thus:
} 25 = .0101 from;
_With_ 4° _on_ }
} 24 = .0097 subtract:
—————
.0004:
This therefore is the Expansion _with_ 4°, _on_ 1 Inch above 24 Inches.
Then _with_ 4°, _on_ .1 Tenth of an Inch above 24 Inches.
