A small drop resting on level and sloping planes
Diagrams of a rounded body on horizontal and inclined lines, with letter labels
This folio, headed with the leaf-number 42, carries several small pen diagrams showing a rounded, lens-shaped body sitting on a straight horizontal line and on progressively inclined lines, marked with single-letter labels. They read as a study of how a drop or small body balances and shifts its weight as its support is tilted. The sheet is otherwise filled with mirror-script notes that are not transcribed in this bundle.

A drop's weight on level versus sloping ground
Small drawings show a rounded, lens-like body on a horizontal line and on lines of increasing slope, with single-letter labels beside each. The sequence appears to study how the weight of the body is distributed about the centre of its base and shifts to one side as the plane is tilted. No accompanying text is transcribed for this page.
