Defin. I. CEorsaM Garisssis est punctum, quo
sustentato grave quomodocunq situm vi gravitatis non
movetur.
Intelligitur autem LI NEAS DIRECTIOXIM
seu in quibus punctum corporis gravis moveri tendit etse
parallelas inter se, et eodem modo gravitatem agere m
quocunqe Aorironte seu plano ad leneas directionum nor
mali.
Sit (Fig. 1.) grave A, et punctum C, suspendatur
grave ex puncto suo D, vel F, ope funis (si placet) BD;
sic ut recta perpendicularis ad horizontom DE. vel FG trans-
eat pen C; tunc si grave quiescit quantum ad gravitatem
nec in unam potius quam alteram, partem fertur, idque suc
cedat quod eunque sit punctum suspensionis D vel F. manente
c
C, iptum C dicetur centrum gravitatis; Quod proinde m
f.
venitur pen diversarum perpendicularium, ut DE. et FG,
quas directionum lineas vocamus, intersectionem. Dubi-
tari autem potert, utrum tale centrum detur. Ham etsi
dua rectae alicubi se secent, non inde tamen sequitur quod
intersectio omnium debeat etse communis, seu quod LM
linea directionis in easu suspensionis ex L debeat DE secare
in eodem puncto C, ubi secatur De ab FG. Et videtur
esse audax hoc postulatum, etsi successu comprobatum sit.
eoque major est ratio dubitandi, quod in plerisqe figuris non
datur
