‘ the fquare and the cube, it is likely that all parts of 
the body will be overcharged : and if it is inverfely 
as fome lei's power than the fquare, it is likely that 
all parts of the body, except thbfe near the furface, 
will be undercharged. ^ 
Corollary. 
For the fame reafon, if the body is undercharged, 
the deficiency of fluid will be greater near the furface 
than near the center, and the matter near the furface 
will be intirely deprived of fluid. It is likely too, if 
the repulfion is inverfely as fome higher power of 
the diflance than the fquare, that all parts of the 
body will be undercharged : if it is inverfely as the 
fquare, that all parts, except near the furface, will 
be faturated : and if it is inverfely as forne lefs power 
than the fquare, that all parts, except near the fur- 
face, will be overcharged. 
PRO P. X. 
Let the bodies A and D (fig. 5.) communicate 
with each other, by the canal E F j and let 
one of them, as D, be overcharged ; the other 
body A will be fo alfo. 
For as the fluid in the canal is repelled by the re- 
dundant fluid in D, it is plain, that unlefs A was 
overcharged, fo as to balance that repulfion, the fluid 
would run out of D into A. 
In like manner, if one is undercharged, the other 
muft be fo too.
