Transcription

Any body projected upwards with any velocity will use to the hight [height] from which it would require to be dropped in order that it should attain the same velocity with which it was projected therefore we can find the space described by a body projected upwards, at the end of a given time by first finding the hight [height] to which it [wanted] rise and the time required, then subtracting the given time from the whole time and finding the velocity which a body would have by falling from rest in the [difference] of those times which would be the required velocity. If projected downwards we would first the hight [height] to which it would rise if projected upwards with the same velocity before coming to rest then adding this time to the given time and proceed as etc.
