FIELDS OF FORCE AND NEWTONIAN POTENTIAL 207 Let A, Fig. 105, be the body, 0 the point where the axis pierces theplane of the paper, C… … Fig. 105. This result may be easily verified by consid-ering the moments of the forces which actupon the body. The forces which act upon the body are the reaction ofthe axis and the weight of the body. The moment of the reaction isnil; therefore the resultant moment is entirely due to the weight…
