Gravity :: Gravity (a.) Sobriety of character or demeanor.

Areometer :: Areometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the specific gravity of fluids; a form hydrometer.

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

Demurely :: Demurely (adv.) In a demure manner; soberly; gravely; -- now, commonly, with a mere show of gravity or modesty..

Sulphur :: Sulphur (n.) A nonmetallic element occurring naturally in large quantities, either combined as in the sulphides (as pyrites) and sulphates (as gypsum), or native in volcanic regions, in vast beds mixed with gypsum and various earthy materials, from which it is melted out. Symbol S. Atomic weight 32. The specific gravity of ordinary octohedral sulphur is 2.05; of prismatic sulphur, 1.96..

Centrobaric :: Centrobaric (a.) Relating to the center of gravity, or to the process of finding it..

Gravitational :: Gravitational (a.) Of or pertaining to the force of gravity; as, gravitational units..

Supernatation :: Supernatant (n.) The liquid remaining after solids suspended in the liquid have been sedimented by gravity or by centrifugation. Contrasted with the solid sediment, or (in centrifugation) the pellet..

Rhodium :: Rhodium (n.) A rare element of the light platinum group. It is found in platinum ores, and obtained free as a white inert metal which it is very difficult to fuse. Symbol Rh. Atomic weight 104.1. Specific gravity 12..

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

Solemnness :: Solemnness (n.) The state or quality of being solemn; solemnity; impressiveness; gravity; as, the solemnness of public worship..

Barology :: Barology (n.) The science of weight or gravity.

Barycentric :: Barycentric (a.) Of or pertaining to the center of gravity. See Barycentric calculus, under Calculus..

Platinum :: Platinum (n.) A metallic element, intermediate in value between silver and gold, occurring native or alloyed with other metals, also as the platinum arsenide (sperrylite). It is heavy tin-white metal which is ductile and malleable, but very infusible, and characterized by its resistance to strong chemical reagents. It is used for crucibles, for stills for sulphuric acid, rarely for coin, and in the form of foil and wire for many purposes. Specific gravity 21.5. Atomic weight 194.3. Symbol Pt. Fo

Centroid :: Centroid (n.) The center of mass, inertia, or gravity of a body or system of bodies..

Fall :: Fall (n.) The act of falling; a dropping or descending be the force of gravity; descent; as, a fall from a horse, or from the yard of ship..

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.

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..

Barite :: Barite (n.) Native sulphate of barium, a mineral occurring in transparent, colorless, white to yellow crystals (generally tabular), also in granular form, and in compact massive forms resembling marble. It has a high specific gravity, and hence is often called heavy spar. It is a common mineral in metallic veins..

Sadness :: Sadness (n.) Seriousness; gravity; discretion.
