But we know that a force may be represented in a purely graphical manner by a straight line in the direction of the force containing as many units of length as there are units of force in the force. The end of this line is marked with an arrow head to... Elementary Practical Mathematics - Page 310by Frank Castle - 1899 - 404 pagesFull view - About this book
