if lines be drawn in order to represent thevelocities of a body, the line which closes the polygon willrepresent their resultant. Also the projection of this last line on any direction isequal to the sum of the projections of all the other lines;(see Introduction). Hence the resolved part of the… … M X COMPOSITION AND RESOLUTION OF VELOCITIES. 33 Let a particle 0 have velocities represented by Oa, Oh,.... Through 0 draw two lines OX, 0 F at right angles to eachother. Through a, b,... draw a^l, bB,... perpendicular to OX;and aA, bB,... perpendicular to OY. Then OA, OB... are the resolved parts…
