t follows from what has been proved above, thatwe can replace a given force acting on the points (Fig- 7^)? SHdrepresented in direction and intensity by A P, by the two forcesrepresented by either of the pairs of lines A B and AB, AGand AG, AD and AD, AE and A B, or indeed by any otherpair of… … Fig. 7. angular position whatsoever with reference to tlie diagonal, itfollows that a given force may be decomposed into two others inany required directions. If, then, the value of a force in units,and two directions, are given,the value in units of , twocomponents in these direc-tions can always…
