= 90 -^ 10 = 9 inches. Through B, draw B D parallel to A C, and through C, draw CDparallel to A B, intersecting at D. Then draw A £>, and A D will be theresultant; its direction is towards the point Z>, as shown by the arrow. Measuring A D, we find that its length = 11.7 inches. Hence,11.7 X… … ELEMENTARY MECHANICS. 311 by the method called the triangle of forces, which isas follows: In Fig. 114, suppose that the two forces acted separately,first from A to B, and then ^/from B to Z>, in the directionof the arrows. Draw A D\ then A D isthe resultant of the forces^ ^ and y^ C, since B D…
