MECHANICS OF THE INNER EAR 75 



The fluid unit, defined as one-fiftieth of the above quantity, 

 is therefore 



4300 <? w 



300 

 Any number m of such fluid units is then 



4300 azv m 

 300 



We derived above the following equation between fluid 

 quantities and partition lengths 



F= — a — \(iow+x,Y— (low) 3 ! 

 300 w* [ v ' J 



In this equation we have to substitute for F the above 

 expression of fluid quantity and then to solve the equation 

 for x,.

The following table contains the corresponding values of 

 m and x\, measured in the unit of length w.
