tracedout. It is evident fromthe conditions of equi-librium, that the verti-cal 0 L drawn through the intersection 0 of the extremetangents A 0 and B (9, will pass through the centre ofgravity of the catenary. If, therefore, a distance 0 G betaken on this line to represent the entire weight of… … to find theextreme tensionsfrom the curvetraced; points A and B ofsuspension, the weight,and entire length of thecatenary be given, theprocess for finding theextreme tensions is asfollows, viz.: Take asmall chain and sus-pend it against a ver- Fig. 172.
