= V 9 x 64 = 24 16 ft. = */i6 x 64 32, >, 25 ft. = A/25 x 64 = 40, , . 36 ft. = ^36 x 64 = 48 If we divide all these velocities by 8 we get the velocity at depth of . . . 1 foot = . 4 feet = 2 * 9 = 3 1 Relative velocities. . . . 16 = 4 | 25 = 5 . 36 = 6, We thus see that the velocities vary as the square root of the depths ; for instance, at a depth of 9 feet below the surface the wuter will run in three times as fast as it would at a depth of i foot below the surface, and so on ; for any dept...h whatever we have only to extract the square root of that depth to know how much faster the water flows into the ship than it would do at i foot depth. I3 HYDROSTATICS. It has often been a matter of surpi'ise to sailors to see wh&t a small rent in a plank in the bilge has been the sole cause of their hourly attention to the pumps to keep their vessel free of the inflowing water, especially when their vessel was well known to be a very dry one, and regained her character as such when this defect in her planking was made good.
