A Mathematical Query.
A MATHEMATICAL QUERY .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE CALCUTTA COURIER .
< $ ln > —I take the liberty to propose the following query to your Mathematical and Architectural readers , and shall feel particularly gratified by a solution from any one of them of the Problem , which I have accomplished from an investigation of the properties of the Magnetic Angle , formed by the Electro-Dynamic Currents . Draw a certain number of lines on the exterior surface of a Cube , by which the Cube shall be divided into a certain number of parts , whereof
the 2 d shall bear the same relation to the 1 st , that the 3 d does to the 2 d and the -ith to the 3 d . The whole being the progression of 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 . Required the number of lines , the number and description of pieces into which the Cube is divided . From the 1 st part construct a Building , consisting ofthe same number of parts , into wliich the Cube has been divided ; the parts to be proportional to the Cube , the Building , and each other . From the 2 d part construct the pillars of the Gate , the Lintel , and two posterior pillars of the house , proportional as before .
From the 3 d part construct the stones of the wall , the Bars of the Gate , Pillars , and Steps in the same proportion . And from the 4 th part the foundation of the Building in proportion . Construct also a Court from the 4 th part of another equal Cube , double the area of the foundation on which the Building stands . And construct another exterior Court from the remaining ^ ths of the 2 d Cu & edouble the area of the former Court . The whole of the
sepa-, rate pieces to be packed into the space of three equal Cubes ; the 1 st of which shall contain in number a Cube , the second four-fifths of a Square and tlie 3 d t ; Square , the whole amounting to THE SQUARE OP THE CUBE . The whole to be constructed from four equal Cubes , the remainder being a Cube of equal dimensions with each of the former , and consisting of 4 and parts in one iece 1 part in iece 2 parts in 4 ieces
^ p , a p , p , and ^ part in 6 pieces . This problem I have illustrated in seven equal Cubes of a surface 3 inches square . On the 1 st are drawn the Lines . The 2 d is divided into 4 parts , and exhibits the continuation of the Lines into the interior of the Cube . The 3 d the number of parts into which the Cube is divided by the Lines . The
