Resultant diagram. See diagram. Resultant rela-

tics, a tone produced or generated by the simultaneous 
sounding of any two somewhat loud and sustained tones. 
Two varieties are recognized, differential and summa- 
tional tones, the former having a vibration-number equal 
to the difference between the vibration-numbers of the 
generating tones, and the latter one equal to their sum. 
It is disputed whether resultant tones, which are often 
perceptible, have a genuine objective existence, or are 
merely formed in the ear. Differential tones were first 
observed byTartini in 1714, and are often called Tartini's 
tones. The entire subject has been elaborately treated 
by Helmholtz and recent investigators.

or more equations, the vanishing of which expresses that 
the equations have a common root ; an eliminant. Topi- 
cal resultant, the resultant of a number of linear equa-

= Syn. Result, Resultant. A result may proceed from one 
cause or from the combination of any number of causes. 
There has been of late a rapid increase in the use of re- 
sultant in a sense secondary to its physical one namely, to 
represent that which is the result of a complex of moral 
forces, and would be precisely the result of no one of them 
acting alone.
