f this new set of forces, asalready explained on page 114. This is done in Figs. 145 and 146, and oe is found tobe the resultant of oa, ab, be, cd, and de. Thus oe equalsthe sum of the given forces plus oa. But as oa wasintroduced for convenience of solution only, it shouldnow be removed, i.e.,… … ii6 GRAPHICAL STATICS This is equivalent to reversing the direction of the forceoa and adding it to oe. Thus a force parallel and equal to ae, having its lineof action passing through F, the intersection of the linesof action of oa and oe, is the required resultant. The polygon formed of the forces…
