Las obras de Arquímedes

Entonces, puesto que CO = ½p, CL debe ser perpendicular a PT y, por tanto, a la superficie del fluido.

Y las fuerzas que actúan sobre la parte sumergida del paraboloide y sobre la parte situada por encima de la superficie actúan, respectivamente, hacia arriba y hacia abajo, a lo largo de rectas que pasan por F y H y son paralelas a CL.

Por tanto, el paraboloide no puede permanecer en la posición en que B apenas toca la superficie, sino que debe girar en el sentido de aumentar el ángulo PTM.

La demostración es la misma cuando el punto I no está en VP, sino en su prolongación, como en la segunda figura*.

Diagrama geométrico del original

[Con la notación de la p. 266, si la base BB′ toca la superficie del fluido en B, tenemos

BM=BVsinθ+PN

y, por la propiedad de la parábola,

BV2=(p+4AN)PV=pk(1+cot2θ)

Por tanto

ph=pk+p2cotθ

Para obtener el resultado de la proposición, debemos eliminar k entre esta ecuación y

x′−x=cosθ{p4(cot2θ+2)−23(h−k)}.

* Es curioso que las figuras de Torelli, Nizze y Heiberg sean todas incorrectas, pues sitúan el punto que he llamado I en BQ en vez de en la prolongación de VP.

Turn scanned pages into an ebook with adjustable text that flows to fit your screen. Keep the words, illustrations and equations together, and enjoy old books on your phone or e-reader.

Desktop + iOS client

Download the desktop app before you settle in to read

The desktop app is a better place to process a scanned book, check OCR output, and export EPUB for longer reading sessions. You can keep the converted book locally, review it on desktop first, and continue later on iPhone or iPad when you just want to read.

What matters when turning a scanned book into EPUB

For scanned books, the important part is turning static page images into an EPUB that is easier to read through, carry forward, and return to later.

  1. Best for scanned books and reading copies

    Useful for scanned novels, nonfiction, textbooks, and other book-length files where OCR can help turn page images into something more comfortable to read as EPUB.

  2. The output should feel closer to a book

    The goal is not just to convert a file. It is to produce an EPUB that is easier to move through, read in sequence, and keep as part of a personal reading library.

  3. Review before reading for hours

    It helps to check the recovered text on desktop first, especially for chapter flow and obvious OCR errors, before committing to a longer reading session on another device.

  4. Focused on book-length reading

    It stays centered on chapter flow, OCR review, and whether the EPUB works as a reading copy you can keep.
