ing along OC, that is, acting at C in adirection parallel to that of either of the forces.If this resultant is R, then R = P + Q.We have now to determine the position of the point C.P ATT ir^inr (Art 2 pa*e 58Part IL) But the triangle AHF is similar to the triangle OCA.Consequently (Euclid vi, 4)… … Fig. 5. Let P and Q (Fig. 5) be the forces (P being the greater),and A and B their points of application; and let AH and PARALLEL FORCES. 25 BK represent them in direction and magnitude. At Aand B apply two equal and opposite forces S, S, actingin the line AB. These will balance each other and…
