Principle of Virtual Work.— The work done by a force during a supposed (or virtual) displacement of its point of application is called its virtual work. The principle of Art. 369 may therefore be stated as follows : If a system of concurrent forces is in equilibrium^ the algebraic sum of their virtual works is zero for any possible displacement. In applying this principle, it is common to assume the displace- ment to be infinitesimal. This is not necessary, however, if the forces are assumed to... remain constant in magnitude and direction through- out the displacement. 372. Conditions of Equilibrium.— The conditions of equilibrium for concurrent forces may be deduced from the principle of virtual work. Let A (Fig. 159) be the point of application of several forces in equilibrium, and let it receive a displacement AB = h. The work done by a force of magnitude Py acting in a direction inclined at angle \,o AB,\& Ph cos 0. For any number of forces, /\, y,, WORK AND ENERGY. 319 . . . , acting at angles 0^,0^, .
