(c)	Elementary Mechanics and Hydrostatics.—Treated so as not necessarily to require a knowledge of pure page 96 mathematics greater than the standard prescribed above under (a) and (b) namely, the composition and resolution of forces acting on a point and on a rigid body on one plane; the mechanical powers; the centre of gravity; the fundamental laws of motion; the laws of uniform and uniformly accelerated motion and of falling bodies; the pressure of liquids and gases; the equilibrium of floating bodies; specific gravities; and the principal instruments and machines the action of which depends on the properties of fluids: with simple problems and examples.

A candidate in Physical Science will be required, on presenting himself for examination, to furnish to the Supervisor a certificate from a teacher of the subject or branch subject that he has passed a practical examination in such subject as follows:— page 97

(a)	Heat.—Use of thermometer, barometer, and hygrometer; determination of the density of solids and liquids; calculation of the density of gases from observations of their temperature and pressure; calorimetry.
(b)	Sound and Light.—Use of goniometer, photometer, spectroscope, telescope, and microscope; determination of the curvature, focal length, and magnifying power of lenses; determination of the refractive index of solids and liquid?.
(c)	Electricity and Magnetism.—Use of electrometer, galvanometer, voltameter, Wheatstone's bridge, and resistance coils; determination of the resistance of conductors and batteries; determination of the electro-motive force of batteries, and of the strength of currents; measurement-of magnetic forces.

The certificate must be given by a teacher in an affiliated institution who shall have been authorised by the Chancellor to grant certificates. A fee of one guinea shall be paid by the candidate to the teacher for conducting the practical examination, unless the candidate be attending the lectures of such teacher.

(3.) Chemistry (Two papers).—

Note.—The division of this subject into two papers will be left to the discretion of the Examiner.

A candidate in chemistry will be required, on presenting himself for examination, to furnish to the Supervisor a certificate from a teacher of the subject that he lias passed a practical examination in chemistry.

The certificate must be given by a teacher in an affiliated institution who shall have been authorised by the Chancellor to grant certificates. A fee of one guinea shall be paid by the candidate to the teacher for conducting the practical examination, unless the candidate be attending the lectures of such teacher.
