1the Portion hath to the Liquid of equall Maſſe, the ſame hath the
Magnitude
of the Portion ſubmerged unto the whole Portion; as
hath
been demonſtrated in the firſt Propoſition; The Magnitude
ſubmerged
, therefore, ſhall not have greater proportion to the

whole
(b) Portion, than that which hath been mentioned: ^{*}And
therefore
the whole Portion hath not greater proportion unto that

which
is above the Liquid, than the Square N O hath to the Square

M
O: But the (c) whole Portion hath the ſame proportion unto
that
which is above the Liquid that the Square N O hath to the
Square
P F: Therefore the Square N O hath not greater propor­

tion
unto the Square P F, than it hath unto the Square M O: ^{*}And
hence
it followeth that P F is not leſſe than O M, nor P B than O

H
: ^{*} A Line, therefore, drawn from H at Right Angles unto N O
ſhall
meet with B P betwixt P and B: Let it be in T: And be­
cauſe
that in the Section of the Rectangled Cone P F is parallel unto
the
Diameter N O; and H T perpendicular unto the ſaid Diame­
ter
; and R H equall to the Semi-parameter: It is manifeſt that
R
T prolonged doth make Right Angles with K P ω: And there­
fore
doth alſo make Right Angles with I S: Therefore R T is per­
pendicular
unto the Surface of the Liquid; And if thorow the
Points
B and G Lines be drawn parallel unto R T, they ſhall be
perpendicular
unto the Liquids Surface.
The Portion, therefore,
which
is above the Liquid ſhall move downwards in the Liquid ac­
cording
to the Perpendicular drawn thorow B; and that part
which
is within the Liquid ſhall move upwards according to the
Perpendicular
drawn thorow G; and the Solid Portion A P O L
ſhall
not continue ſo inclined, [as it was at its demerſion], but ſhall
move
within the Liquid untill ſuch time that N O do ſtand accor­
ding
to the Perpendicular.
