Repiy 10 IS" OH The Wagon Wheel.
We propose to continue our reply to
"1" nos Immediately answering the
several remaining points made in his
communication, but by going into a
philosophical explanation of what a
wagon is. And we will be glad if
IS" will take our reply in the light
we give it, that is, with a view to
elicit solid discussion that truth may
be reached. We enter upon the dis
fNssion for. useful practical results.
We are more of a theoretical machine
la,. onr friend 'sS" 10 in4oiiigpmo
practical one. And we arc anxious to
know now if theory ana fac; in this
case agree.
What, thcn, is wagon We re-
ply, It is an instrument used for the
purpose of reducing :h2 friction caus-
ed by moving weight along the
Gr"1-d. aud to remove the friction
ehtirely from the ground.
lh'a friction is caused by the resist
ancc between that weight moving hori-
%ont"ily, an" ~ attraction Of gravity
acting vertically.
The amount offric'ion is in p"2por-
ton to the amountof weights surface
'""ch'iiS inc ground. "A bale of cot
ten c. q. when lying upon the ground
on ITS side requires more power to over
ccme It's friction, or in others words, to
move it, tlIan whcn the same bale is
on is SIDE And it would require
III less when on its edge.
Now take eight bales of cotton, and
pile them vi a the ground just +? you
would load wagon body with tAem.
Bind them firmly together with cords.
select your best teams of four, and at
tach Them to the pile. They can't
move it, because the friction is greater
than the power applied to overcome it.
But distinction must be no.cd BE-
