of its line if this line be regarded as rigid. Thus theforce F acting on the particle P (Fig. 14) can be transferred,without changing its effect, to any point P of its line; and twoequal and opposite forces in the same line, such as /^ at P and 86.] INTRODUCTION. 47 — Fa.t P, are in equilibrium;… … Fig. 15. i.e. can be replaced by, a single force F called their resultant.This resultant can be found by replacing the forces F^ F^ bythe equal forces i^^, F^ at O, and forming the parallelogramhaving F-^, F^ as adjacent sides. The diagonal F through 0is the required resultant; it can be replaced…
