...canals, or in rivers, is accelerated in consequence of its depth, and of the declivity on which it runf, till the resistance, increasing with the velocity,...becomes uniform. It is evident, that the amount of the resitting forces can hardly be determined by principles already known, and therefore nothing remains,... | |

...depth, and of the declivity on which it runs, till the resistance increasing with the velocity, becomes equal to the acceleration, when the motion of the stream becomes uniform. But this resistance, it is obvious, can only be determined by experiment, and hence several philosophers... | |

...which it runs up to a certain limit, ie till the resistance, which increases with the velocity, becomes equal to the acceleration, when the motion of the stream becomes uniform. The resistance, of course, depends a great deal upon the evenness of the bottom and sides of the channel,... | |

Water running in open canals, or in rivers, is accelerated in consequence of its depth, and of the declivity on which it runs, till the resistance, increasing with the velocity, becomes equal to the acceleration, when the motion of the stream becomes...
