| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On the uniform flow of a liquid' by Henry Moseley |
| Date | 1870 |
| Description | Moseley shares a paper including similar methods featured in an earlier paper, 'On the mechanical possibility of the descent of glaciers by their weight only', (see AP/51/8). He explains that the resistance of every molecule of a liquid at rest which a solid (by moving through it) disturbs, contributes its share to the resistance which the solid experiences; so that the inertia of each molecule so disturbed and its shear must be taken into account in the aggregate, which represents the resistance the liquid offers to the motion of the solid.
