*a tripod is a ‘portable 3-legged frame’ used as a ‘platform’ for supporting the ‘weight’ + maintaining the ‘stability’ of some other ‘object’*
.
(a ‘tripod’ provides ‘stability’ against ‘downward forces’ + ‘horizontal forces’ + movements about ‘horizontal axes’)
.
(the positioning of the 3 legs away from the ‘vertical center’ allows the ‘tripod’ better ‘leverage’ for resisting ‘lateral forces’)
