From the exact quadrature of the circlebeing unknown, it is impossible to measure with… … 6 X 3 - - 4 X 4 X -7854 = 11-72. Now the suports will be IK x IC x 2 (the two piers) = the piers; or, in figures, 1x6x2 = 1200. That is, in the diagram the load is very nearly equal to the supports, and woidd have beenfound quite so, if we could have more accurately measured the circle, or had with…
