Poise :: Poise (v.) Weight; gravity; that which causes a body to descend; heaviness.

Lead :: Lead (n.) One of the elements, a heavy, pliable, inelastic metal, having a bright, bluish color, but easily tarnished. It is both malleable and ductile, though with little tenacity, and is used for tubes, sheets, bullets, etc. Its specific gravity is 11.37. It is easily fusible, forms alloys with other metals, and is an ingredient of solder and type metal. Atomic weight, 206.4. Symbol Pb (L. Plumbum). It is chiefly obtained from the mineral galena, lead sulphide..

Barology :: Barology (n.) The science of weight or gravity.

Heavy Spar :: Heavy spar () Native barium sulphate or barite, -- so called because of its high specific gravity as compared with other non-metallic minerals..

Demurely :: Demurely (adv.) In a demure manner; soberly; gravely; -- now, commonly, with a mere show of gravity or modesty..

Foot Pound :: Foot pound () A unit of energy, or work, being equal to the work done in raising one pound avoirdupois against the force of gravity the height of one foot..

Centroid :: Centroid (n.) The center of mass, inertia, or gravity of a body or system of bodies..

Centrobaric :: Centrobaric (a.) Relating to the center of gravity, or to the process of finding it..

Force :: Force (n.) Any action between two bodies which changes, or tends to change, their relative condition as to rest or motion; or, more generally, which changes, or tends to change, any physical relation between them, whether mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, magnetic, or of any other kind; as, the force of gravity; cohesive force; centrifugal force..

Sadness :: Sadness (n.) Seriousness; gravity; discretion.

#NAME? :: -tre (n.) The point of intersection of a vertical line through the center of gravity of the fluid displaced by a floating body which is tipped through a small angle from its position of equilibrium, and the inclined line which was vertical through the center of gravity of the body when in equilibrium..

Barite :: Barite (n.) Native sulphate of barium, a mineral occurring in transparent, colorless, white to yellow crystals (generally tabular), also in granular form, and in compact massive forms resembling marble. It has a high specific gravity, and hence is often called heavy spar. It is a common mineral in metallic veins..

Densimeter :: Densimeter (n.) An instrument for ascertaining the specific gravity or density of a substance.

Sulphur :: Sulphur (n.) A nonmetallic element occurring naturally in large quantities, either combined as in the sulphides (as pyrites) and sulphates (as gypsum), or native in volcanic regions, in vast beds mixed with gypsum and various earthy materials, from which it is melted out. Symbol S. Atomic weight 32. The specific gravity of ordinary octohedral sulphur is 2.05; of prismatic sulphur, 1.96..

Iridium :: Iridium (n.) A rare metallic element, of the same group as platinum, which it much resembles, being silver-white, but harder, and brittle, and indifferent to most corrosive agents. With the exception of osmium, it is the heaviest substance known, its specific gravity being 22.4. Symbol Ir. Atomic weight 192.5..

Hydrometry :: Hydrometry (n.) The art of determining the specific gravity of liquids, and thence the strength of spirituous liquors, saline solutions, etc..

Light :: Light (superl.) Having little, or comparatively little, weight; not tending to the center of gravity with force; not heavy..

Trifle :: Trifle (n.) To act or talk without seriousness, gravity, weight, or dignity; to act or talk with levity; to indulge in light or trivial amusements..

Areometer :: Areometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the specific gravity of fluids; a form hydrometer.

Sageness :: Sageness (n.) The quality or state of being sage; wisdom; sagacity; prudence; gravity.
