Hence also the resultant of velocities represented by all the sides of a polygon
but one , taken in order , is represented by that one taken in the opposite
direction . When there are two velocities , or three velocities , in two or in three

The acceleration of a point executing a simple harmonic motion is at any time
simply proportional to the displacement from the middle point , but in opposite
direction , or always towards the middle point . Its maximum value is that with
which a ...

In the case of epochs equal , or differing by a multiple of T , the curve is a portion
of a parabola , and is gone over twice in opposite directions by the moving point
in each complete period . If the periods be not exactly as 1 : 2 the form of the path
