P; It is neceſſary that P I hath unto P H either the ſame proportion
that N ω hath to ω O, or greater; for this hath already been de
monſtrated: But N ω is ſeſquialter of ω O; and P I, therefore, is
either Seſquialter of H P, or more than ſeſquialter: Wherefore
P H is to H I either double, or leſſe than double. Let P T be
double to T I: the Centre of Gravity of the part which is within
the Liquid ſhall be the Point T. Therefore draw a Line from T
to F prolonging it; and let the Centre of
30[Figure 30]
Gravity of the part which is above the Liquid
be G: and from the Point B at Right Angles
unto N O draw B R. And ſeeing that P I is
parallel unto the Diameter N O, and B R
perpendicular unto the ſaid Diameter, and F
B equall to the Semi-parameter; It is mani
feſt that the Line drawn thorow the Points
F and R being prolonged, maketh equall
Angles with that which toucheth the Section
A P O L in the Point P: and therefore doth alſo make Right An
gles with A S, and with the Surface of the Liquid: and the Lines
drawn thorow T and G parallel unto F R ſhall be alſo perpendicu
lar to the Surface of the Liquid: and of the Solid Magnitude A P
O L, the part which is within the Liquid moveth upwards according
to the Perpendicular drawn thorow T; and the part which is above
the Liquid moveth downwards according to that drawn thorow G:
The Solid A P O L, therefore, ſhall turn about, and its Baſe ſhall
not in the leaſt touch the Surface of the Liquid, And if P I do not
cut the Line K ω, as in the ſecond Figure, it is manifeſt that the
Point T, which is the Centre of Gravity of the ſubmerged Portion,
falleth betwixt P and I: And for the other particulars remaining,
they are demonſtrated like as before.

the Semi parameter.] For the Diameter of the Portion N O hath unto F ω the
ſame proportion as fifteen to fower: But it was ſuppoſed to have leſſe proportion unto the
Semi-parameter than fifteen to fower: Wherefore N O hath greater proportion unto F ω
than unto the Semi-parameter: And therefore (a) the Semi-parameter ſhall be greater
than the ſaid F ω.
