forces Pl5 P2, P3, &c, at thepoints A, B, C, &c, inthe directions AP,,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 the►action of P,, P2, anathe tension of BC, theresultant of P, and P2 must be in the… … THE CORD. 93 Wo have thus transferred the forces P, and iv, to act at Cparallel to their original directions. In the same manner, theresultant of Pa, 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 P1?…
