In a sphere of the size of the earth, supposed to be incompressible and as rigid as steel, the period of these vibrations is 66 minutes.
The venous arrangements are also peculiar in that the veins are thin-walled and valveless, and open into the rigid, incompressible sinuses which run between the layers of the dura mater.
It is, however, well for such cases to have, if possible, a stomach-pump and an incompressible tube in reserve.
Through one opening, which is made to communicate with an incompressible tube inserted into the stomach (the other opening being now closed), the gastric contents are drawn into the barrel of the syringe.
This piston is pierced with a small hole, through which the incompressible liquid passes as the piston moves.
In fact, if enclosed, it becomes more incompressible than steel, without in any way losing its fluidity.
Fluids are divided into liquids, or incompressible fluids, and gases, or compressible fluids.
All that we are concerned with is that, as time passes, the liquid star shrinks, rotates in one piece as if it were solid, and remains incompressible and homogeneous.
I shall begin therefore by explaining what is known about the shapes which may be assumed by a mass of incompressible liquid of uniform density under the influences of gravity and of rotation.
To every proposition in electrostatics there is thus a corresponding one in the hydrokinetic theory of incompressible liquids.
Stokes's theorem becomes an obvious truism if applied to an incompressible fluid.
Let a source of fluid be a point from which anincompressible fluid is emitted in all directions.
But then if the ether isincompressible its density must really be constant,--so how can it be denser inside matter than it is outside?
Water is comparatively incompressible and hence not a very adaptable means of transmitting power, but a certain amount of flexibility is secured in some systems by the use of what is termed an “accumulator.
There is a popular notion that at great depths water becomes dense enough to float solid iron, but water is practically incompressible and its density at a depth of five miles is only slightly greater than that at the surface.
Now this is just what a vortex-ring would do in an incompressible frictionless fluid.
It is difficult to suppose that it can really condense an incompressible fluid, but it may load it, or otherwise modify it, so as to produce the effect of increased density.
At low velocities it might, but the greater velocities diminish that chance, as it is a well known fact that all dense incompressible bodies are least affected by an extremely sharp motion.
By hypothesis this rigid, incompressible body pervades all space, imbedding every particle of tangible matter; yet it seems not to retard the movements of this matter in the slightest degree.
It is assumed on all sides that the ether is a continuous, incompressible body, possessing rigidity and elasticity.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "incompressible" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
