Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Empirical Formulas, Vol. 19
IN the results of most experiments of a quantitative nature, two variables occur, such as the relation between the pressure and the volume of a certain quantity of gas, or the relation between the elongation of a wire and the force producing it.
