At A and B apply two equaland opposite forces S, S, acting in the line AB. Thesewill balance each other and will not disturb the system. 22 PARALLEL… … Now the forces P and S at A may be replaced by theirresultant R]; which is represented by AF, and which maybe supposed to act at O. Similarly the forces Q and S at B may be replaced bytheir resultant R2, which is represented by BG, andwhich also may be supposed to act at O. The force 1^ at O may be…
