Paper, 'Remarks upon some experiments in hydraulics, which seem to prove that the forces of equal moving bodies are as the squares of their velocities' by John Eames
Reference number: CLP/3ii/26
Date: 28 October 1727
Description
The result and substance of these experiments is, that the velocities of any fluid, for instance water, issuing out at equal orifices made in the sides of tubes, or vessels filled up to different heights, and kept full at those heights, above the orifices, are found to be as the square roots of those heights respectively.
