PROBLEM XXVII.

To find the Solidity of the Elliptic Hoofs of the Fruftum of a Cone made by a Plane cutting off a Part of the Bafe.

1. From the verfed fine, or height of the base of the hoof, fubtract the difference of the diameters of the base and end of the fruftum, and divide the remainder by the diameter of the faid end; find the tabular fegment whofe verfed fine is equal to the quotient; find alfo the tabular fegment whose versed fine is expreffed by the quotient of the verfed fine of the base of the hoof divided by the diameter of the bafe of the fruftum; multiply the former fegment by the cube of the diameter of the end, and by the quotient of the verfed fine of the base of the hoof divided by the difference between the faid versed fine and the difference of the diameters, and by the root of the faid quotient; and multiply the latter fegment

Or if we would reduce the circular fegments in the last expreffion to those of a circle whofe diameter is 1, to be found in the table of circular fegments at the end of the book, that expreffion will be
