the Stability of Ships. s8c| 
The vertical sections intersect the 
longer axis at a common interval of 5 
feet. By computing, according to the 
Rule in. from the areas of the 34 figures 
ADW 5 here given, together with the 
common interval of 5 feet, a result will 
be obtained, which approximates very 
nearly to the solid contents of the 
volume between the planes DA, DW, 
and the intercepted side of the vessel, 
throughout the entire length of it. 
Making, therefore, according to 
Rule hi. the sum of the first and last 
area - - == S = 111.21 
And the sum of the 4th, 
7th, 10th, 13th, &c. 
area (except the 34th,) = P = 1 16*7.58 
S-f P= 1278.79 
Sum of all the areas - == 3767.77 
Sum of the 2d, 3d, 5th, 
6th, &c. areas - = Q = 2488.98 
Solid contents of the volume between 
the planes DA, DW, and the intercept- 
ed side of the vessel = S-}- 2 P *-{- 3 Q 
x ~ = 18587.5 cubic feet. 
From the 34 areas of the figures 
BDN c, as entered in the table, by com- 
puting according to the Rule in. the 
solid contents are obtained, of the vo- 
lume between the planes DB, DN, and
