Pàgina 71 - D/) which is the required formula. The solutions of Nos. 6-20 follow lines made familiar by Ex. LXVI. In No. 6 the sum of the squares of the distances of the centres of the beads from the centre of the end one is (O2 + I2 + 22...
Pàgina 49 - Let AB, DE be the two given chords : draw AK parallel to DE, and AH making with AK an angle equal to the supplement of that in the segment ACB and meeting DE produced in H ; take AK so that HD . AK = the given square; join BK, on which describe the segment of a circle containing an angle equal to that in the segment ACB, and .cutting DE in G. Draw BGC and AC : then ACB is the required triangle. Join KG, and let F be the intersection of AC, DE. Since /.ACB = /. KGB, KG is parallel to AC ; but AK is...

(3) On Fresnel's theory of double refraction, as far as to the determination of the propagation of plane waves ; and on the extent to which it is a rigorous dynamical theory. January 30, 1860. 1. If two circles intersect at right angles in two given points, prove that the sum of the squares of the reciprocals of the radii of the circles will be constant. 2.

Is this true? if not, it is required to give formula: for the calculation of the points of intersection with the spiral lines. IX. QUEST. (1697.)* If lines be drawn from the angles of a plane triangle to a point within it, so...
