...Converse of Triangle of Forces.f — Three coplanar forces, acting on a particle, which equilibrate, may be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a plane triangle taken in order. * Taken in Order.— The sides of any rectilinear figure are said to... | |

...magnitude and direction of the other force ? 36. Triangle of Forces. If three forces, acting at a point, be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle, taken in order, they will be in equilibrium. Let the forces P, Q, R acting at the point 0 be represented in... | |

...same way round. 29. POLYGON OF FORCES. When more than three forces in one plane acting upon a point are in equilibrium they may be represented in magnitude and direction by lines forming a closed polygon. More fully defined in next paragraph. 30. FORCE POLYGON. When forces... | |

...squares of the other two forces. Tlic Triangle of Forces. — III. If three forces acting on a point be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle taken in order, they will keep the point in equilibrium. Thus let P, Q, and V. (Fig. 5) represent three forces... | |

...opposite way, as at (rf). This result may be summed up thus, " If three forces acting at a point can be represented, in magnitude and direction, by the sides of a triangle taken in order, the forces will be in equilibrium;" that is, will exactly balance each other. The direction... | |

...are equal and parallel to the sides of the triangle COA taken in order. Therefore if three forces, represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle taken in order, act on a particle, the particle will remain at rest ; or, if already moving, it will continue... | |

...triangle, as a, b, C, Fig. 123. Since the forces at <7, Fig. 122, including the strains in the bars, are in equilibrium, they may be represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle. In Fig. 123, draw the lines 1 and 2 from the extremities of Pi, parallel... | |

...equilibrium as if they acted on a particle at that point ; they must therefore be capable of being represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle taken in order. The conditions of equilibrium of three parallel forces will be investigated in Chap. VI. 54.... | |

...must act in their plane and be equal and opposite to the third. (3) J[f three concurring forces are represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle taken the same way round, the resultant is zero and the forces are in equilibrium. (4) Hence, if three concurring... | |

...IN FRAMEWORK STRUCTURES. IF three forces (fig. 1) act at a point O, and are in equilibrium, they can be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a triangle be a, taken in order. It is frequently convenient to use the method of areas shown here, the force... | |
