  • AIRhttps://chambers.encyclo.eu/index.php/physics/AIR

    increases as the Force increases wherewith it is pressed. Now there must necessarily be a Balance between the Action and Reaction; i.e., the Gravity of the Air, which tends to compress it, and the Elasticity of the Air which endeavours to expand it,...

    to be the cause, are only the occasions thereof. See OCCASIONAL CAUSE. It is one of the Laws of Nature that action and reaction are always equal and contrary to each other. See REACTION and NATURE. For the actions of Powers, etc., see Power, Weight,...

    body, etc. In this sense the general laws of motion are called axioms; as, that all motion is rectilinear, that action and reaction are equal, etc. See LAWS OF NATURE. These particular axioms, it may be observed, do not immediately arise from any first...
