CHAPTER V TENSILE STRENGTH OF THE SAP OF TREES Even in text-books of Physics the cohesion of liquids is seldom discussed, and the conditions necessary to produce a state in which liquids may transmit a tensile stress are not adequately treated. Cohesion of liquids.--Donny in 1846 showed that it was possible for a column of sulphuric acid 1255 m. high to hang in a vertical tube closed at its upper end, when atmospheric pressure was not allowed to press the liquid upwards from below. He compares the phenomenon to the well-known experience that the mercury of a barometer may be retained above the actual barometric height, if the tube, filled by inclining it, is raised gradually to a vertical position. He further states that this phenomenon has been explained by Laplace as being due to the cohesion of the mercury and to its adhesion to the glass. Donny also looked for the cohesion or tensile strength of water. He appears, however, to have failed to demonstrate it in the same way in which he had successfully showed it in the case of sulphuric acid. He observed, however, the tensile strength of water in the following less direct manner: If a vertical glass tube one metre long, partially filled with water and sealed at both ends, is struck vigorously on the...
