1contingent unto the Section in the Point P: Wherefore it alſo
maketh Right Angles with the Surface of the Liquid: and that
part of the Conoidall Solid which is within the Liquid ſhall move
upwards according to the Perpendicular drawn thorow B parallel
to R T; and that part which is above the Liquid ſhall move down
wards according to that drawn thorow G, parallel to the ſaid R T:
And thus it ſhall continue to do ſo long untill that the Conoid be
reſtored to uprightneſſe, or to ſtand according to the Perpendicular.

Let therefore R H be equall to the Semi-parameter.] So it is to be

And look what proportion the Submerged Portion hath to the whole
Portion, the ſame hath the Square of P F unto the Square of N O.]
This place we have reſtored in our Tranſlation, at the requeſt of ſome friends: But it is demon

Wherefore P F is not leſſe than M O.] For by 10 of the fifth it followeth
that the Square of P F is not leſſe than the Square of M O: and therefore neither ſhall the
Line P F be leße than the Line M O, by 22 of the
that the Square of P F is not leſſe than the Square of M O: and therefore neither ſhall the
Line P F be leße than the Line M O, by 22 of the
253[Figure 253]P F is to M O, ſo is B P to H O; But P F is not
leſſe than M O as hath bin proved; (a) Therefore
neither ſhall B P be leſſe than H O.
If therefore a Right Line be drawn
from H at Right Angles unto N O, it
ſhall meet with B P, and ſhall fall be
twixt B and P.] This Place was corrupt in the
Tranſlation of Tartaglia: But it is thus demonstra
ted. In regard that P F is not leſſe than O M, nor P B than O H, if we ſuppoſe P F equall to
O M, P B ſhall be likewiſe equall to O H: Wherefore the Line drawn thorow O, parallel to A L
ſhall fall without the Section, by 17 of the firſt of our Treatiſe of Conicks; And in regard that
B P prolonged doth meet it beneath P; Therefore the Perpendicular drawn thorow H doth
alſo meet with the ſame beneath B, and it doth of neceſſity fall betwixt B and P: But the
ſame is much more to follow, if we ſuppoſe P F to be greater than O M.
