gram, their resxdtantwill be represented in direction and intensity by that diago-nal of the parallelogram which passes through their common point. This principle is called the parallelogram of pressures. Hence, we see that moving forces and pressures may becompounded and resolved according to the… … Fig. 5. as ed^cs, -construct the parallelopipedon OP, and draw OMand S±L. From the preceding article,OM represents the resultant of P andQ, and from the same article, OP rep-resents the resultant of OM and IS. Hence, OP is the resultant of thethree forces P, Q, and S. That is, ifthree forces be…
