若相等时间扫过相等面积,那么力必须指向用来量面积的那个点。
命题
Proposition 2 · converse area law shows how motion can be read by areas, tangents and departures from tangents.
命题 2 · 面积定律的反向读法 说明运动可以由面积、切线和切线偏离量来读。

题
Start from equal areas and ask what direction an unexplained deflection may have.
从等面积出发,问无法解释的偏折还能朝哪个方向。
解
Any non-central component would disturb the areal balance, so the direction is forced.
任何非中心分量都会扰乱面积平衡,因此方向被迫指向中心。
