  2. Parallel force system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_force_system

    Parallel vertical forces acting on an airplane in straight and level flight. Lift from the main wing (Pz) is balanced by the weight of the airplane (mg) and the down-force on the horizontal stabilizer (Pzh). In engineering, a parallel force system is a type of force system where

  3. Parallelogram of force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_of_force

    Suppose two forces act on a particle at the origin (the "tails" of the vectors) of Figure 1.Let the lengths of the vectors F 1 and F 2 represent the velocities the two forces could produce in the particle by acting for a given time, and let the direction of each represent the direction in which they act.

  4. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.

  5. Line of action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_action

    The line of action is shown as the vertical dotted line. It extends in both directions relative to the force vector, but is most useful where it defines the moment arm. In physics , the line of action (also called line of application ) of a force ( F → ) is a geometric representation of how the force is applied.

  6. Translation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(geometry)

    A vertical translation means composing the function ⁠ + ⁠ with f, for some constant b, resulting in a graph consisting of the points ⁠ (, +) ⁠. Each point ⁠ ( x , y ) {\displaystyle (x,y)} ⁠ of the original graph corresponds to the point ⁠ ( x , y + b ) {\displaystyle (x,y+b)} ⁠ in the new graph, which pictorially results in a ...

    2) In definition 15 he introduces parallel lines in this way; "Straight lines which have the same direction, but are not parts of the same straight line, are called parallel lines." Wilson (1868 , p. 12) Augustus De Morgan reviewed this text and declared it a failure, primarily on the basis of this definition and the way Wilson used it to prove ...

  8. Connection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_(mathematics)

    The attendant parallel displacement operations also had natural algebraic interpretations in terms of the connection. Koszul's definition was subsequently adopted by most of the differential geometry community, since it effectively converted the analytic correspondence between covariant differentiation and parallel translation to an algebraic one.

  9. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    When two parallel hyperplanes are used to produce successive reflections, the result is a translation. When two hyperplanes intersect in an ( n –2)- flat , successive reflections produce a rotation where every point of the ( n –2)-flat is a fixed point of each reflection and thus of the composition.
