232. Two trains are running on parallel lines in the same direction
at rates respectively 45 miles and 35 miles an hour; the length of

Suppose a bushel to be exactly round,
And the depth, when measured, eight inches be found;
If the breadth 18·789 inches you discover,
This bushel is legal all England over:
But a workman would make one of another frame,
Seven inches and a half the depth of the same;
Now say of what length must the diameter be,
That it may with the former in measure agree.
