Levity :: Levity (n.) The quality of weighing less than something else of equal bulk; relative lightness, especially as shown by rising through, or floating upon, a contiguous substance; buoyancy; -- opposed to gravity..

Gravity :: Gravity (a.) Importance, significance, dignity, etc; hence, seriousness; enormity; as, the gravity of an offense..

Poise :: Poise (v.) Weight; gravity; that which causes a body to descend; heaviness.

Ripple :: Ripple (n.) a small wave on the surface of water or other liquids for which the driving force is not gravity, but surface tension..

Light :: Light (superl.) Having little, or comparatively little, weight; not tending to the center of gravity with force; not heavy..

Silver :: Silver (n.) A soft white metallic element, sonorous, ductile, very malleable, and capable of a high degree of polish. It is found native, and also combined with sulphur, arsenic, antimony, chlorine, etc., in the minerals argentite, proustite, pyrargyrite, ceragyrite, etc. Silver is one of the noble metals, so-called, not being easily oxidized, and is used for coin, jewelry, plate, and a great variety of articles. Symbol Ag (Argentum). Atomic weight 107.7. Specific gravity 10.5..

Baryta :: Baryta (n.) An oxide of barium (or barytum); a heavy earth with a specific gravity above 4.

Sage :: Sage (n.) A wise man; a man of gravity and wisdom; especially, a man venerable for years, and of sound judgment and prudence; a grave philosopher..

Brachystochrone :: Brachystochrone (n.) A curve, in which a body, starting from a given point, and descending solely by the force of gravity, will reach another given point in a shorter time than it could by any other path. This curve of quickest descent, as it is sometimes called, is, in a vacuum, the same as the cycloid..

Heavy Spar :: Heavy spar () Native barium sulphate or barite, -- so called because of its high specific gravity as compared with other non-metallic minerals..

Urinometer :: Urinometer (n.) A small hydrometer for determining the specific gravity of urine.

Gravitation :: Gravitation (n.) That species of attraction or force by which all bodies or particles of matter in the universe tend toward each other; called also attraction of gravitation, universal gravitation, and universal gravity. See Attraction, and Weight..

Gravity :: Gravity (a.) The state of having weight; beaviness; as, the gravity of lead..

Ruthenium :: Ruthenium (n.) A rare element of the light platinum group, found associated with platinum ores, and isolated as a hard, brittle steel-gray metal which is very infusible. Symbol Ru. Atomic weight 103.5. Specific gravity 12.26. See Platinum metals, under Platinum..

Unisonant :: Unisonant (a.) Being in unison; having the same degree of gravity or acuteness; sounded alike in pitch.

#NAME? :: -tre (n.) The point of intersection of a vertical line through the center of gravity of the fluid displaced by a floating body which is tipped through a small angle from its position of equilibrium, and the inclined line which was vertical through the center of gravity of the body when in equilibrium..

Galactometer :: Galactometer (n.) An instrument for ascertaining the quality of milk (i.e., its richness in cream) by determining its specific gravity; a lactometer..

Pendulum :: Pendulum (n.) A body so suspended from a fixed point as to swing freely to and fro by the alternate action of gravity and momentum. It is used to regulate the movements of clockwork and other machinery.

Stereometric :: Stereometer (n.) An instrument for determining the specific gravity of liquid bodies, porous bodies, and powders, as well as solids..

Down :: Down (adv.) In the direction of gravity or toward the center of the earth; toward or in a lower place or position; below; -- the opposite of up.
