Parallelogram of forces

See Woolley (1976) for a discussion. The distinction is particularly simple in quantum mechanics, for the Hamiltonian formulation already provides a law of combination for the different kinds of interaction. So there is no need for a separate parallelogram of forces. 

The shear stress acting on the plane is determined from the parallelogram of forces and its magnitude (Fg) is given by... 

Elastic and viscous characteristics of materials can be visualized using a Cartesian material element, as shown in Fig 3.2. For this visualization the square shape in the x-y plane is deformed into a parallelogram. A force is applied to the material element parallel to one axis, in this case along the x axis at a distance H up the y axis. The material element is deformed away from they axis by a distance a by the force F. 

Another great researcher of that period was Stevinus (1548-1620). He provided the law of parallelogram for forces that is expressed in the following form ... 

Thus, the parallelograms or polygons of forces for corresponding particles should be geomehically similar. A corollary of this definition is that the ratios of different forces in the same system shall be constant ... 

Parallelogram law for the addition offorces. Two forces, and F, acting on a particle may be replaced by a single force, R, called their resultant. If the two forces are represented as the adjacent sides of a parallelogram, the diagonal of the parallelogram will represent the resultant (Figure 2-1). 

An electronic balance based on a parallelogram flexure support and an electromagnetic force cell. The flexure points allow limited movement about the null position and provide resistance to torsional distortion by off-center loading of the weighing pan. Drawing taken from Ref. 3 with permission. 

The force loop for untreated samples are shown in Figure 26.14. The force loops for TMS plasma-treated and (TMS O2) plasma-treated surfaces are shown in Figure 26.15. Any sign of deviation from the parallelogram force loop is an indication of surface dynamic instability. Plasma polymerization coating of (TMS O2) seems to cause some degree of surface dynamical instability depending on the nature of substrate polymer, e.g., PTFE, UHMWPE, HDPE, and PMMA. 

The WSi2W fragment in 241 forms a parallelogram with two distinctly different W-Si distances of 2.586(5) and 2.703(4) A. This feature was interpreted in terms of a W-H Si interaction, as steric constraints in this complex force the hydrogen atom to adopt a position close to silicon. The X-ray analysis did not allow the location of the hydrogen atom positions. This was also the case for 251, for which IR spectral evidence lent support to a structure with some degree of H Si interaction. However, the... 

Vectors. Velocity, force, momentum, and acceleration are considered vectors since they have magnitude and direction. They are regarded as first-order tensors and are written in boldface letters in this text, such as v for velocity. The addition of the two vectors B -i- C by parallelogram construction and the subtraction of two vectors B — C is shown in Fig. 3.6-1. The vector B is represented by its three projectionsB, By, and Bj on the x, y, and z axes and... 

Then the vector, drawn from 0 to the opposite vertex of the parallelogram, is the VECTOR SUM (or resultant) of 0 -1- OB. This sum has physical meaning because the actual object will move just as if it were impelled by a force exerted in the direction OC and whose magnitude is represented by the length of the OC line vector.
