...when applied to a given point in a direction directly contrary to its true one. POISSON, § II. 37. The resultant of two forces is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of a parallelogram whose sides represent the magnitude and direction of these two forces. PoisSON, Additions.... | |

...represented in magnitude and direction by two straight lines, arc equivalent to a third force which ¡s represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram constructed with the two lines as its sides. [COMPOSITION.] This theorem is frequently called that of the parallelogram... | |

...This is called the resolution of a force. 21. Since the resultant of two forces acting on a particle is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram constructed upon the lines which represent these forces in magnitude and direction, it follows that, in order to obtain... | |

...applied to a material point, and represented by lines measured from this point on their directions, is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram constructed on these lines. This proposition is called the parallelogram of forces. The forces P and Q may evidently... | |
