Thus , let W be the mass of a body in pounds ; g the velocity it would acquire in
falling for a second under the influence of its weight , or the earth's attraction
diminished by centrifugal force ; and P its weight measured in kinetic or absolute
units ...

Thus the mutual normal pressure between a fixed and moving body , the tension
of the cord to which a pendulum bob is attached , or the attraction of the sun on a
planet if the planet describe a circle with the sun in the centre , are all instances ...

Thus the velocities acquired in one second by the same mass ( falling freely ) at
different parts of the earth's surface , give us the relative amounts of the earth's
attraction at these places . Again , if equal forces be exerted on different bodies ...
