Its rate of descent from the horizontal line mn, in Fig. 3S08,may then be assigned by the following method: Let u designate the velocity of the water at the ex-tremity of the course, and a the angle, which the direc-tion-board of the spout forms with the horizontal linem n, and which expresses the deflection of the linedenoting the velocity u from the plane of the horizon;then the curve described by the sheet of water will beexpressed by the equation 3808. y 2 v? cos2 a + x tan a,. x being the abscissa? measured upon the horizontalplane, taken at half the depth of the fluid vein, wherethe mean velocity is u; and y the vertical ordinates referred to the same initial point at )/. This equation may be expressed verbally thus: To find the ordinates of the mean curve described by the water issuing upon a wheel from a shuttleof which the direction-board is inclined at a small angle with the horizontal plane, corresponding to anygiven horizontal abscissa; of the curve, multiply double the square of the velocity u of the water at theextremity of the direction-board by the square of the cosine of the angle formed by its direction withthe horizontal plane, and by this product divide the square of the given abscissa multiplied into </ =32-2. To the quotient which results, add the product of the same abscissa, multiplied into the tangentof the angle a of the velocity u with the plane m n. The s
