HEN a long and heavy Body lying on the 
Ground is to be rais'd up at one End, (like a 
Leaver of the fecond Kind) while the other End keeps 
its Place and becomes the Centre of its Motion j the 
Prop, that is made ufe of to fupport it at any Point in 
its whole Length, fuftains a certain Preffure from the 
Beam. Now the Experiments which I fhall make 
are to fhew, by a Force drawing always in the Direc- 
tion of the Prop, what is the Quantity of the Prefliire 
on the Prop, according to the Length of the Prop, the 
Angle which it makes with the Beam, or with the 
Horizon, and the Diftance from the Centre of Motion 
of the Beam at which the Prop is applied. For when
