...body, U the velocity in a circle, radiua^i, then ^''rrt^ M. LA PLAQE shews that the law of Kepler, viz. that the squares of the periodic times are as the cubes of the axes, U not rigorous, and only obtains in as much as the mutual action of the planets, and their action...

...centripetal forces are as the distances of the revolving bodies from the centres of the circles. When the squares of the periodic times are as the cubes of the rays of the circles, and, consequently, the velocities in the subduplicate ratio of these rays inversely,...

...satellites move in circular orbits, we may take 44",23 for the true distance, without much error; hence, as the squares of the periodic times are as the cubes of the distances, the distance of the first satellite comes out 33",09. The synodic revolutions were here...

...of the planets, the respective real distances of the whole may be found by means of Kepler's law, " that the squares of the periodic times are as the " cubes of their mean distances from the son." DISTANCE, apparent, in optics, is that distance .which we judge...
