SUMMARY

The polygonal addition of forces is fundamentally flawed as it fails to account for the dependency of forces on their application points. Forces cannot be arbitrarily repositioned without altering their effects, a principle rooted in the law of the lever. This discussion challenges traditional physics concepts, asserting that they are incorrect at a foundational level. The implications of this argument suggest a need for reevaluation of established force addition methods.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of classical mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with the law of the lever
  • Basic knowledge of vector mathematics
  • Concept of torque in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the law of the lever and its applications in physics
  • Explore the concept of torque and its relevance to force application
  • Study alternative methods of force addition in mechanics
  • Investigate the implications of force dependency on position in real-world scenarios
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, mechanical engineers, and anyone interested in advanced mechanics and the validity of traditional force addition methods.

The traditional polygonal addition of force is invalid because it doesn't take the dependence of the forces on the positions where they act. We cannot simply drag the force-vectors across the space and expect them to remain the same. The forces must change respectively to the change of the positions where they acted previously. That's so because of the law of lever. The traditional physics is just totally wrong from its very root.

Would you buy that?
Well its for sale anyway.

Look into torque.
