To explain this,let F = 00 be the resultant force (figs. 211a and 2116), and 0 0^ theresultant couple referred to any arbitrary plane 0 Y. Resolve the couplein and at right angles to the direction of the force F. Replace the couple Oe—that is, in the same phase plane as the force—byanother equal couple but having each of its forces equal to F. Thus Fh-Oe(figs. 211a and 2116). Then F and - F on the reference
