Publisher's Synopsis
An Attempt To Test The Theories Of Capillary Action By Comparing The Theoretical And Measured Forms Of Drops Of Fluid is a scientific book written by Francis Bashforth and published in 1883. The book is an attempt to test the theories of capillary action by comparing the theoretical and measured forms of drops of fluid. Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of external forces like gravity. Bashforth was a mathematician and physicist who was interested in the mechanics of fluids, particularly capillary action. In this book, he presents the results of his experiments and compares them to the existing theories of capillary action. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the mechanics of fluids and the history of scientific research on capillary action.With An Explanation Of The Method Of Integration Employed In Constructing The Tables Which Give The Theoretical Forms Of Such Drops.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
