...two forces are represented in magnitude and direction by two adjacent aides of a parallelogram, the resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram passing through the point of application of the forces. (See Composition of Forces.} PARALLELOGRAM...

...point, and if they be represented in magnitude and direction by two determinate straight lines, then their resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of a parallelogram, two of whose sides are the just mentioned determinate lines. This is the basis of...

...represented in magnitude and direction by three adjacent edges of a, parallelopiped act on a particle, their resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelepiped which is drawn through the intersection of the three aides. Let AB, AC, AD be the three...

...velocities represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a parallelogram, the resultant velocity is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram. Conversely, any velocity may be regarded as equivalent to two velocities in any two directions, and...

...direction by the two sides of a parallelogram drawn from a point, they are equivalent to a velocity which is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram passing through the point. Let the two simultaneous velocities be represented by the lines AB and AC,...

...represented in magnitude and direction by two sides 3—2 36 DYNAMICS. of a parallelogram drawn from a point, their resultant is represented in magnitude...direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram drawn from that point. Let P,, Pa poundals be the two forces acting in directions AB, AC. By the principle...

...If any two concurrent forces be represented in magnitude and direction by lines drawn from the same point, their resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal (drawn from that point) of the parallelogram of which the two lines are adjacent sides. Thus let OA...

...of the greater component. When two component motions have different directions, the resultant motion is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram constructed over the two component motions, as sides of the parallelogram. Thus let the two forces...

...direction by the adjacentsides of a parallelogram drawn from the point, then their resultant or sum is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram passing through the point. The vectors may meet at any given angle, but let us assume they meet at...

...be represented in magnitude and direction by a straight line, and the resultant motion of the point is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram of which the two lines representing the component velocities are sides. Thus, if a point, P (Fig. 225),...
