Not illustrated. 1863 Excerpt: ...planes of different inclinations, by three equal weights hanging from cords over pulleys at p, then if the length of the middle plane be twice its height, the body B will be drawn up that plane, quicker than either of the other weights A or c. Or, generally, to ensure an ascent up a plane in the least time, the length of the plane must be to its height, as twice the weight to the power employed. 5. If it be proposed to construct a roof over a building of a given width, so that the rain shall-run quickest off it, then each side of the roof must be inclined 45 to the horizon, or the angle at the ridge must be a right angle. 6. The force by which spheres, cylinders, &c. are caused to revolve as they move down an inclined plane (instead of sliding) is the adhesion of their surfaces occasioned by the pressure against the plane: this pressure ie part of the body's weight; for the weight being resolved into its components, one in the direction of the plane, the other perpendicular to it, the latter is the force of the pressure; and, while the same body rolls down the plane, will be expressed by the cosine of the plane's elevation. Hence, since the cosine decreases while the arc or angle increases, after the angle of elevation arrives.at a certain magnitude, the adhesion may become less than what is necessary to make the circumference of the body revolve fast enough, in this case the body descends partly by sliding and partly by rolling. And the same may happen in SVnaller elevations, if the body and plane are very smooth. But at all elevations the body may be made to roll by the uncoiling of a thread or rib band wound about it If w denote the weight of a body, s the space described by a body falling freely, or sliding freely down an inclined plane, then the sp...
