Graham's and Charles's laws

[edit]

This page stated that Amontons discovered Graham's law. That would place him as the earliest formulator of the kinetic theory, decades before Daniel Bernoulli who is credited most everywhere. I can find no mention of Amontons having made any such discovery but he is credited with discovering Charles's law[1]. I have made the correction.

excessive and confusing detail on laws of friction

[edit]

The article on Friction has all the same info on these laws. I propose these details be removed. If anyone has info on Amontons's experimental or theoretical process for discovering them, or on their publication, reception, etc., I would think those more appropriate for a biography.Dfeuer (talk) 17:27, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the material that belongs at friction. RJFJR (talk) 16:13, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
