Illustration 2d. If the two forces acting ona body are unequal, but still operate at rightangles to each other, the body will movefrom C to A as represented in Fig. 9; inwhich it is to be observed that the force Y isas much greater than the force X, as thelength of the side A B of the rectangle A BC D, exceeds the length of the side C B. Illustration 3d. When two forces op-erate in the direction of an acute angle,[See Fig. 10.] the body will move, as rep-resented by C A in the parallelogram
