[Sidenote: If two bodies be moved with uniform motion through two lengths, the proportion of those lengths to one another, will be compounded of the proportions of time to time, and impetus to impetus, directly taken.] 6. If two bodies with uniform motion transmit two lengths, each with its own impetus and time, the proportion of the lengths transmitted will be compounded of the proportions of time to time, and impetus to impetus, directly taken. Let two bodies be moved uniformly (as in fig. 3), one in the time A B with the impetus A C, the other in the time A D with the impetus A E. I say the lengths transmitted have their proportion to one another compounded of the proportions of A B to A D, and of A C to A E. For let any length whatsoever, as Z, be transmitted by one of the bodies in the time A B with the impetus A C; and any other length, as X, be transmitted by the other body in the time A D with the impetus A E; and let the parallelograms A F and A G be completed. Seeing now Z is to X (by art. 2) as the impetus A C multiplied into the time A B is to the impetus A E multiplied into the time A D, that is, as A F to A G; the proportion of Z to X will be compounded of the same proportions, of which the proportion of A F to A G is compounded; but the proportion of A F to A G is compounded of the proportions of the side A B to the side A D, and of the side A C to the side A E (as is evident by the Elements of Euclid), that is, of the proportions of the time A B to the time A D, and of the impetus A C to the impetus A E. Wherefore also the proportion of Z to X is compounded of the same proportions of the time A B to the time A D, and of the impetus A C to the impetus A E; which was to be demonstrated. Coroll. I. When two bodies are moved with uniform motion, if the times and impetus be in reciprocal proportion, the lengths transmitted shall be equal. For if it were as A B to A D (in the same fig. 3) so reciprocally A E to A C, the proportion of A F to A G would be compounded of the proportions of A B to A D, and of A C to A E, that is, of the proportions of A B to A D, and of A D to A B. Wherefore, A F would be to A G as A B to A B, that is, equal; and so the two products made by the multiplication of impetus into time would be equal; and by consequent, Z would be equal to X.
