Let p be the mean pressure in pounds per square inch, calculated from an indicator diagram taken from a particular cylinder when the speed of the crank-shaft is n revolutions per second.
The speed held to correspond with the resistance must be the mean speed during the change of speed.
Assuming that the mean pressure in the other cylinder is also p, the total work done per revolution is 4pla.
If T is the mean torque, the work done on the crank-axle per revolution is 27rT.
Hence, if p is the maximum value of the mean effective pressure corresponding to about 85% of the boiler pressure,, uW = pd 2 le /D (26) is an expression giving a relation between the total weight on the coupled wheels, their diameters and the size of the cylinder.
If p is the mean pressure at any speed the total tractive force which the engine is exerting is given by equation (25) above.
Taking 85% of this, the maximum mean effective pressure would be 149 lb per square inch.
The engine can only exert this large tractive force so long as the mean pressure is maintained at 149 lb per square inch.
This high mean pressure cannot be maintained for long, because as the speed increases the demand for steam per unit of time increases, so that cut-off must take place earlier and earlier in the stroke, the limiting steady speed being attained when the rate at which steam is supplied to the cylinders is adjusted by the cut-off to be equal to the maximum rate at which the boiler can produce steam, which depends upon the maximum rate at which coal can be burnt per square foot of grate.
For a stated value of the boiler pressure and the cut-off the mean pressure p is a function of the piston speed v.

The device known as the method of least squares, for reducing numerous equations of condition to the number of unknown quantities to be determined, had been adopted as a practically convenient rule by Gauss and Legendre; but Laplace first treated it as a problem in probabilities, and proved by an intricate and difficult course of reasoning that it was also the most advantageous, the mean of the probabilities of error in the determination of the elements being thereby reduced to a minimum.
