For, the resultant of the earth’s attraction being a vertical force applied at the centre of gravity, the body can only be in equilibrium when the point lies vertically under the point of… … wards the earth’s centre, equili¬ brium will be established only when this resultant is balanced by the resultant of other forces and resistances acting on the body at the fixed point through which it passes. When only one point of the body is fixed, it will be in equilibrium if the vertical line…
