...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,...

...velocity. We therefore have the following theorem: The resultant of two concurrent coplanar velocities is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram constructed upon the component velocities as sides; the component velocities being drawn from a common...

...force is the same with respect to their point of intersection; then the resultant of the two forces is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram through the point of intersection. If the sense of the two forces is away from the point of intersection,...

...the two sides of a parallelogram drawn from a point, these velocities are equivalent to that which is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram passing through the point. By substituting acceleration for velocity we obtain what is known as the...

...component velocities make an angle with each other, and they are drawn to scale, the resultant ve1ocity is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram, two adjacent sides of which represent the two component velocities. Parallelogram of forces. — In...
