Which root,
Irnvolved tothe fecond power, will produce a third number ;

Example.-The periodical time of Venus is 225 days ;
her diftance from the Sun 70000000 miles ; and the periodical time of Jupiter 4332 day* : What is his diftance
from the Sun ?
Operation.
The period of Jupiter, divided by that of
Vt&us, gives 1Q-, 2080. The cube root of which is 2,6783.

N.B. When the i. q jired is lefs than the given dif
