The Force which can ge¬ nerate the wholeMotion of the Water flowing out thro’ the Hole, is equal to the Weight of a Cylinder of Wa¬ ter whole Bale is the Hole, and whofe Altitude is twice the Space through which a heavy Body mull fall in vacuo to acquire the Velocity with which the Water flows through the Hole j that is, the Force is equal to the Weight of the Cylinder of Water ax a I G. For the Time, in which the Water flowing out through the Hole becomes equal to the Cylinder of Water ax 2 IG, is equal to the Time in which that Cylinder of Water in falling in va¬ cuo by the cpnftant Adion of its own Weight will acquire a Velocity equal to that with which the Water flows out, that is, a Velocity equal to V 5 and from an Equality of the Times of the Motions, of the Quan¬ tities
