e forces Pt, P2, P3, &c, at thepoints A, B, C, &c, inthe directions APT,BP2,CP3, &c. The force P, at Amay be considered asacting at B in its di-rection BA; and sinceB, when in equilibrium,must be so from theaction of Pl9 P2, andthe tension of BC, theresultant of P, and P2 must be in the… … THE CORD. 93 We have thus transferred the forces Pj and P2 to act at Cparallel to their original directions. In the same manner, theresultant of P15 P2, and P3 acting at C must be in the directionof DC, and may be applied at the point D without disturbingthe equilibrium, and then replaced by P,,…
