the new point P reduces the problem to the simple case of the parallelogram of forces, and the resultant R may now be applied to any point in its Mne of action PA3. Consider now the compu-tation of the resultant of two parallel forces Fi and F2, Fig. 42. It is evident that the method of… … Fig. 42 FORCES ACTING ON A RIGID BODY 45 forces neutralize each other their introduction will notaffect the original problem. Combine these forces withFi and F2 and obtain the forces i?i and R2. Now, insteadof considering Fi and F2, find the resultant of Ri andR2, which we will denote by R, whose…
