, we might conceiveeach to be resolved into two components—one at rightangles, and the other parallel to the axis. The latter com-ponent would be exerted to bend the lever laterally, or tomake it slide along the axis, developing only hurtful resist-ance, whilst the former only would tend to turn… … 100 MECHANICS. dicular distances FA and FB are, respectively, the leverarms of P and R. To determine the conditions ofequilibrium of the lever, let usdenote the power by P, the re-sistance by JR, and their respec-tive lever arms by p and r. Wehave the case of a body restrained Fi<r 65 by an…
