Centrifugal impression

Centrifugal force (Mech.), a force whose direction is from
a center.
[1913 Webster]
Note: When a body moves in a circle with uniform velocity, a
force must act on the body to keep it in the circle
without change of velocity. The direction of this force
is towards the center of the circle. If this force is
applied by means of a string to the body, the string
will be in a state of tension. To a person holding the
other end of the string, this tension will appear to be
directed toward the body as if the body had a tendency
to move away from the center of the circle which it is
describing. Hence this latter force is often called
centrifugal force. The force which really acts on the
body being directed towards the center of the circle is
called centripetal force, and in some popular treatises
the centripetal and centrifugal forces are described as
opposing and balancing each other. But they are merely
the different aspects of the same stress. --Clerk
Maxwell.
[1913 Webster]
Centrifugal impression (Physiol.), an impression (motor)

imparted by a wheel or blades revolving in a fixed case.
Some of the largest and most powerful pumps are of this

A theory or practice which is a further development, on more
rigorously scientific lines, of the theory and practice of
Impressionism, originated by George Seurat (1859-91), and
carried on by Paul Signac (1863- -) and others. Its method is
marked by the laying of pure primary colors in minute dots
upon a white ground, any given line being produced by a
variation in the proportionate quantity of the primary colors
employed. This method is also known as Pointillism
(stippling).
[Webster 1913 Suppl.] |
Post-impressionism
(gcide) | Post-impressionism \Post`-im*pres"sion*ism\, n. (Painting)
In the broadest sense, the theory or practice of any of
several groups of painters of the early 1900's, or of these
groups taken collectively, whose work and theories have in
common a tendency to reaction against the scientific and
naturalistic character of impressionism and
neo-impressionism. In a strict sense the term
post-impressionism is used to denote the effort at
self-expression, rather than representation, shown in the
work of C['e]zanne, Matisse, etc.; but it is more broadly
used to include cubism, the theory or practice of a movement
in both painting and sculpture which lays stress upon volume
as the important attribute of objects and attempts its
expression by the use of geometrical figures or solids only;
and futurism, a theory or practice which attempts to place
the observer within the picture and to represent
simultaneously a number of consecutive movements and
impressions. In practice these theories and methods of the
post-impressionists change with great rapidity and shade into
one another, so that a picture may be both cubist and
futurist in character. They tend to, and sometimes reach, a
condition in which both representation and traditional
decoration are entirely abolished and a work of art becomes a
purely subjective expression in an arbitrary and personal
language.

Proof spirit (Chem.), a strong distilled liquor, or mixture
of alcohol and water, containing not less than a standard
amount of alcohol. In the United States "proof spirit is
defined by law to be that mixture of alcohol and water
which contains one half of its volume of alcohol, the
alcohol when at a temperature of 60[deg] Fahrenheit being
of specific gravity 0.7939 referred to water at its
maximum density as unity. Proof spirit has at 60[deg]
Fahrenheit a specific gravity of 0.93353, 100 parts by
volume of the same consisting of 50 parts of absolute
alcohol and 53.71 parts of water," the apparent excess of
water being due to contraction of the liquids on mixture.
In England proof spirit is defined by Act 58, George III.,
to be such as shall at a temperature of 51[deg] Fahrenheit
weigh exactly the 12/13 part of an equal measure of
distilled water. This contains 49.3 per cent by weight, or
57.09 by volume, of alcohol. Stronger spirits, as those of
about 60, 70, and 80 per cent of alcohol, are sometimes
called second, third, and fourth proof spirits
respectively.

1. Force; power.

(b) Moral power.
[1913 Webster]
Principle of vis viva (Mech.), the principle that the
difference between the aggregate work of the accelerating
forces of a system and that of the retarding forces is
equal to one half the vis viva accumulated or lost in the
system while the work is being done.
Vis impressa [L.] (Mech.), force exerted, as in moving a
body, or changing the direction of its motion; impressed
force.
Vis inertiae. [L.]
(a) The resistance of matter, as when a body at rest is
set in motion, or a body in motion is brought to rest,
or has its motion changed, either in direction or in
velocity.
(b) Inertness; inactivity.
Note: Vis intertiae and inertia are not strictly synonymous.
The former implies the resistance itself which is
given, while the latter implies merely the property by
which it is given.
Vis mortua [L.] (Mech.), dead force; force doing no active
work, but only producing pressure.
Vis vitae, or Vis vitalis [L.] (Physiol.), vital force.
Vis viva [L.] (Mech.), living force; the force of a body
moving against resistance, or doing work, in distinction
from vis mortua, or dead force; the kinetic energy of a
moving body; the capacity of a moving body to do work by
reason of its being in motion. See Kinetic energy, in
the Note under Energy. The term vis viva is not usually
understood to include that part of the kinetic energy of
the body which is due to the vibrations of its molecules.
[1913 Webster] |
VIS IMPRESSA
(bouvier) | VIS IMPRESSA. Immediate force; original force. This phrase is applied to
cases of trespass when a question arises whether an injury has been caused
by a direct force, or one which is indirect. When the original force, or vis
impressa, had ceased to act before the injury commenced, then there is no
force, the effect is mediate, and the proper remedy is trespass on the case.
2. When the injury is the immediate consequence of the force or vis
proxima, trespass vi et armis lies. 3 Bouv. Inst. n. 3483; 4 Bouv. Inst. n.
3583.
