Weight on a Cord in a Quadrant of a Circle
A statics diagram over a faint panoramic sketch
At upper left the leaf carries a diagram of a quadrant of a circle in which a weight is applied to a cord in various positions, a study of how the pull changes as the cord moves around the arc. The rest of the sheet holds a faint panoramic sketch drawn upside down relative to the notebook. No text is transcribed for this page.

Weight on a cord across a quadrant
The construction sets a quarter-circle arc with radiating lines to small weighted pulleys, showing a load hung from a cord at several positions around the quadrant. It examines how the force or pull varies as the cord's angle changes.
Panoramic sketch
Loose pen lines over the centre and lower part of the leaf sketch a panorama of ridges and open terrain, drawn upside down with respect to the notebook. The e-Leo caption records it as a panoramic sketch.
