groſly declare: We may ſling a ſtone with a ſtick of a yard long,

farther than we can do with a ſtick ſix yards long, though
<
lb

the motion of the end of the long ſtick, that is of the ſtone placed
<
lb

in the ſlit thereof, were more than double as ſwift as the
<
lb
/>
tion of the end of the other ſhorter ſtick, as it would be if
<
lb

the velocities were ſuch that the leſſer ſtick ſhould turn thrice
<
lb

round in the time whilſt the greater is making one onely

the cauſe why equal velocities ſhould not operate equally in

extruding projects, but that of the leſſer wheel much more than

you ſeem to differ much from your
<
lb
/>
ſelf, for that you were wont to penetrate all things in an inſtant,
<
lb
/>
and now you have overlook'd a fallacy couched in the experiment
<
lb
/>
of the ſtick, which I my ſelf have been able to diſcover: and this
<
lb
/>
is the different manner of operating, in making the projection one
<
lb
/>
while with the ſhort ſling and another while with the long one,
<
lb
/>
for if you will have the ſtone fly out of the ſlit, you need not
<
lb
/>
tinue its motion uniformly, but at ſuch time as it is at the ſwifteſt,
<
lb
/>
you are to ſtay your arm, and ſtop the velocity of the ſtick;
<
lb
/>
upon the ſtone which was in its ſwifteſt motion, flyeth out, and
<
lb
/>
moveth with impetuoſity: but now that ſtop cannot be made in
<
lb
/>
the great ſtick, which by reaſon of its length and flexibility, doth
<
lb
/>
not entirely obey the check of the arm, but continueth to
<
lb
/>
pany the ſtone for ſome ſpace, and holdeth it in with ſo much leſs
<
lb
/>
force, and not as if you had with a ſtiff ſling ſent it going with a
<
lb
/>
jerk: for if both the ſticks or ſlings ſhould be check'd by one and
<
lb
/>
the ſame obſtacle, I do believe they would fly aſwell out of the
<
lb
/>
one, as out of the other, howbeit their motions were equally
<
lb
/>
ſwift.</
