  ‛Tis manifeſt, therefore, from this Computation, that the Spaces run thro’ in equal Times, by a Moveable, which, departing from Reſt, acquires a Velocity conformable to the Increaſe of the Time, are to one another as the uneven Numbers, counting from the Unit, as 1, 3, 5, are: And that the Spaces run thro’ being taken together, the Space run thro’ in the double Time, is quadruple to that ran thro’ in a ſubduple Time; that run thro’ in the triple Time is noncuple; and, in a Word, that the Spaces run thro’ are in a duplicate Ratio of the Times, i. e. as the Squares of the Times.

  If for duple we had substituted triple, quadruple, quintuple, &c. the action would have come out noncuple, sedecuple, 25ple; and generally it appears, that equable, equitemporaneous, moving actions, are to equal moveable, as the squares of the velocities; or, which is the same thing, that in the same or an equal body, the forces are in a duplicate ratio of the velocities.

  In the following odd multiples above the ſeptuple arc, the mean arc may be greater than three quadrants: Thus, for inſtance, in the caſe of the noncuple arc, in which the three equidifferent arcs are the quintuple, ſeptuple, and noncuple arcs, ‛tis evident the greateſt magnitude of the ſeptuple, or mean, arc, or that which it has when the noncuple arc is equal to a whole circle, is ⁷⁄₉, or ²⁸⁄₃₆, of the whole circumference, which is greater than ²⁷⁄₃₆ or ¾ of the whole circumference, or three quadrants; and ſince this is true in the noncuple arc, it follows a fortiori that it will be true in all higher multiples.

  The velocity of the vibrations performed by a string, of a determinate length, and distended by different weights, is as the square roots of the stretching weights: quadruple weights therefore will produce double velocity, and consequently double the number of vibrations in the same time; a noncuple weight will produce vibrations of triple velocity, or a triple number in the same time.
