s of the two forces actingupon the point A. It will be found that the diagonal A Dis vertical, and twice as long as yj C \ hence, since A C rep-resents a force of GO pounds, A D wnll represent a force of2 X 60, or 120 pounds. Thus, we see that the line A D represents the resultant ofthe two forces… … Fig. 113. Satisfactory results of this kind will be t,<jcured when wehave the proportion A B:A C= IV : w. 9 Example.—If two forces act upon a body at a common point, bothacting away from the body, and the angle between them is 80°, what isthe value of the resultant, the magnitude of the two…
