Página 167 - F— ka line, V the velocity of projection, and k the resistance for a unit of velocity. (8) A particle acted on by gravity falls from a given altitude in an uniform medium of which the resistance varies as the square of the velocity ; on arriving at the lowest point of its descent it is reflected upwards with the velocity which it has acquired in its fall, after reaching its greatest altitude it again descends and is again reflected, and so on perpetually ; to determine the altitude of ascent after...
