 For in § 79 it was shown that if any one force is to have the same effect upon a body as two forces acting simultaneously, it must be represented by the diagonal of a parallelogram the sides of which represent the two forces. Hence, conversely, if two...  Practical Physics - Page 62by Robert Andrews Millikan, Henry Gordon Gale, Willard R. Pyle - 1922 - 472 pagesFull view - About this book
