the first two and lasttwo, if more convenient to classify them thus). It remainsto utilize this principle. 327. To Find the Resultant of Several Forces in a Plane.—Thismight be done as in § 326, but since frequently a given setof forces are parallel, or nearly so, a special method willnow be given,… … GRAPHICAL STATICS. 403 them. This anti-resultant may be conceived as decom-posed into two components P and P one of which, say P,is arbitrary in amount and position. Assuming P, then,at convenience, in the space diagram, it is required to findP. The five forces must form a balanced system; henceif…
