CHAPTERLXXI.USE AND PRACTICE OF THE FIRST TABLE, IN THE FIRST EXAMPLE.Theuse.Section 357.TO find the Expansion of Quicksilver, and of the barometric Tube in which it is contained: or, in other Words, to find the Point to which the Quicksilver will rise in the Tube, (in Parts of an Inch) with a given additional Temperature, on Farenheit’s Scale.The Question in the first Example is, (Ph. Tr. for 1777, Page 578;)To find the Expansion that arises,withthe Addition of 4 Degrees of Heat,onthecolderBarometer resting at Inches 25 .19 Tenths, in order to give it an Expansion equal to that of another Barometer, 4 Degrees warmer than the former: the Temperature ofeachBarometer, being indicated by its respectiveattachedThermometer.N. B. During the Application of the first Table, the Investigation moves forward two Steps only, viz. the 4th and 5th.The 4th Step, applied in the first Example.358. TheOrderto be observed in finding theExpansion of the Quicksilver, with 4 Degrees on Inches 25 .19 Tenths of the Barometer.1st. Find the Expansion, With 4° on 25 Inches only.Then in order to obtain with 4° on .19, begin2d. With 4° on 1 Inch above 25 Inches, i. e. on the 26th Inch.3d. With 4° on .1, i. e. one Tenth of an Inch above 25 Inches: and lastly,4th. With 4° on .19, Tenths above 25 Inches.Thepractice.359. 1st. In thefirstTable,with4 Degrees on the left Hand vertical Column, and with 25 Inches, along the upper Range; at the Point of Meeting, is the Answer .0101[119]viz. the Expansion, or Rise of the Quicksilver standing at 25 Inches, and receiving an additional Heat of 4°: the Answer .0101 being the Expression for the ten thousand one hundredth Part of an Inch, (viz. in Height, by Expansion.)360. Add this Number, .0101, Part of an Inch, or Rise by Expansion, to the Barometer resting at Inches 25, .19 Tenths, Units under Units, &c. thus: .0101.361. 2d. Now, in order to obtain the Expansionwith4 Degrees,on.19 Tenths i. e. the nine hundred and tenth Part of an Inch of Quicksilver in the Tube (above 25 Inches,) it must be considered, where it ought to be found in the first Table.Tenths of 1 Inch, above 25 Inches, it must be observed, are at some intermediate Point between 25 and 26 Inches; that is, above 25, yet not so high as 26, or more than 25, yet less than 26.Therefore, to find the Expansionwith4 Degrees,on1 Inch above 25, i. e. on the 26th Inch; look in the Table, first,with4 Degrees on 25 Inches: thenwith4 Degrees on 26 Inches. The respective Numbers are .0101 and .0105.And by taking the Expansionwith4° on 25 Inches, from the Expansion,with4°on26 Inches, thus;Expansion{.0101 on 25 Inches,.0105 on 26 Inches,——The Remainder.0004 is the Expansion with 4° on 1 Inch, above 25, i. e. on the 26th Inch.362. 3d. To find the Expansion, with 4° on .1 above 25 Inches; add a Cypher and decimal Point to the former Answer, which then becomes .00004, viz. the Expansion, with 4° on one Tenth, above 25 Inches.363. 4th. Lastly, to obtain the Expansionwith4°,on.19, above 25 Inches, say: If one Tenth of an Inch, above 25 Inches, gives this Expansion viz. .00004, what Expansion will nineteen Tenths above 25, give? answer .19 Tenths more; thus:If .1:.00004::.19?.19———000360004———.00076;then, in order to haveas many decimal Places in the Product as are contained both in the Multiplicand and Multiplier, add a Cypher and Point to the left, and the Product becomes .0000076 which, being divided by .1, gives a Cypher less. viz. the Expansion with 4° on .19 above 25 Inches.THE FIRST TABLE:shewing the expansion

Reject all but the first Decimal as too minute: this is seen by a Line drawn between the first and second Decimal.Practice will shew how far to proceed, without computing the decimal Parts of an Inch, to more than 4 Places; but it is always more exact, to follow minutely the above Rules.
CHAPTERLXXI.
Section 357.TO find the Expansion of Quicksilver, and of the barometric Tube in which it is contained: or, in other Words, to find the Point to which the Quicksilver will rise in the Tube, (in Parts of an Inch) with a given additional Temperature, on Farenheit’s Scale.
The Question in the first Example is, (Ph. Tr. for 1777, Page 578;)
To find the Expansion that arises,withthe Addition of 4 Degrees of Heat,onthecolderBarometer resting at Inches 25 .19 Tenths, in order to give it an Expansion equal to that of another Barometer, 4 Degrees warmer than the former: the Temperature ofeachBarometer, being indicated by its respectiveattachedThermometer.
N. B. During the Application of the first Table, the Investigation moves forward two Steps only, viz. the 4th and 5th.
N. B. During the Application of the first Table, the Investigation moves forward two Steps only, viz. the 4th and 5th.
358. TheOrderto be observed in finding theExpansion of the Quicksilver, with 4 Degrees on Inches 25 .19 Tenths of the Barometer.
1st. Find the Expansion, With 4° on 25 Inches only.
Then in order to obtain with 4° on .19, begin
2d. With 4° on 1 Inch above 25 Inches, i. e. on the 26th Inch.
3d. With 4° on .1, i. e. one Tenth of an Inch above 25 Inches: and lastly,
4th. With 4° on .19, Tenths above 25 Inches.
359. 1st. In thefirstTable,with4 Degrees on the left Hand vertical Column, and with 25 Inches, along the upper Range; at the Point of Meeting, is the Answer .0101[119]viz. the Expansion, or Rise of the Quicksilver standing at 25 Inches, and receiving an additional Heat of 4°: the Answer .0101 being the Expression for the ten thousand one hundredth Part of an Inch, (viz. in Height, by Expansion.)
360. Add this Number, .0101, Part of an Inch, or Rise by Expansion, to the Barometer resting at Inches 25, .19 Tenths, Units under Units, &c. thus: .0101.
361. 2d. Now, in order to obtain the Expansionwith4 Degrees,on.19 Tenths i. e. the nine hundred and tenth Part of an Inch of Quicksilver in the Tube (above 25 Inches,) it must be considered, where it ought to be found in the first Table.
Tenths of 1 Inch, above 25 Inches, it must be observed, are at some intermediate Point between 25 and 26 Inches; that is, above 25, yet not so high as 26, or more than 25, yet less than 26.
Therefore, to find the Expansionwith4 Degrees,on1 Inch above 25, i. e. on the 26th Inch; look in the Table, first,with4 Degrees on 25 Inches: thenwith4 Degrees on 26 Inches. The respective Numbers are .0101 and .0105.
And by taking the Expansionwith4° on 25 Inches, from the Expansion,with4°on26 Inches, thus;
362. 3d. To find the Expansion, with 4° on .1 above 25 Inches; add a Cypher and decimal Point to the former Answer, which then becomes .00004, viz. the Expansion, with 4° on one Tenth, above 25 Inches.
363. 4th. Lastly, to obtain the Expansionwith4°,on.19, above 25 Inches, say: If one Tenth of an Inch, above 25 Inches, gives this Expansion viz. .00004, what Expansion will nineteen Tenths above 25, give? answer .19 Tenths more; thus:
.00004
.19
———
00036
0004
———
.00076;
as many decimal Places in the Product as are contained both in the Multiplicand and Multiplier, add a Cypher and Point to the left, and the Product becomes .0000076 which, being divided by .1, gives a Cypher less. viz. the Expansion with 4° on .19 above 25 Inches.

364. Add this, to the former Expansion, thus:
viz. the Point at which the Quicksilver woud stand, in the coldest Barometer, when equallyexpanded, i. e. of the same Temperature with the warmer. Reject all but the first Decimal as too minute: this is seen by a Line drawn between the first and second Decimal.
Practice will shew how far to proceed, without computing the decimal Parts of an Inch, to more than 4 Places; but it is always more exact, to follow minutely the above Rules.
