On the Effect of the Internal Friction of Fluids on the Motion of Pendulums......Page 14
SECTION I. Adaptation of the General Equations to the case of the Fluid surrounding a Body which oscillates as a Pendulum. General Laws which follow from the form of the Equations. Solution of the Equations in the case of an Oscillating Plane......Page 24
SECTION II. Solution of the Equations in the case of a Sphere oscillating in a mass of Fluid either unlimited, or confined by a Spherical Envelope concentric with the Sphere in its position of Equilibrium......Page 35
SECTION III. Solution of the Equations in the case of an Infinite Cylinder oscillating in an unlimited mass of Fluid, in a direction perpendicular to its axis......Page 51
SECTION IV. Determination of the Motion of a Fluid about a Sphere which moves uniformly with a small velocity. Justification of the Application of the Solutions obtained in Sections II. and III. to cases in which the extent of Oscillation is not small in comparison with the radius of the Sphere or Cylinder. Discussion of a difficulty which presents itself with reference to the uniform motion of a Cylinder in a Fluid......Page 68
SECTION V. On the effect of Internal Friction in causing the Motion of a Fluid to subside. Application to the case of Oscillatory Waves......Page 80
SECTION I. Discussion of the Experiments of Baily, Bessel, Coulomb, and Dubuat......Page 89
SECTION II. Suggestions with reference to future Experiments......Page 136
An Examination of the possible effect of the Radiation of Heat on the Propagation of Sound......Page 155
On the Colours of Thick Plates......Page 168
SECTION I. Rings thrown on a Screen by a Concave Mirror consisting of a lens dimmed at the first surface, and quicksilvered at the back. Condition of distinctness when the Bings are thrown on a Screen, or of fixity when they are viewed in Air. Investigation of the phenomena observed when the Luminous Point is moved in a direction perpendicular to the Axis of the Mirror......Page 173
SECTION II. Bands formed by a Plane Mirror, and viewed directly by the Eye......Page 183
SECTION III. Rings formed by a Curved Mirror, and viewed directly by the Eye, when the Luminous Point and its Image are not in the same plane perpendicular to the axis......Page 191
SECTION IV. Straight bands formed by a Plane Mirror at a considerable angle of incidence, and viewed by the Eye, either directly, or through a Telescope 184......Page 197
