e road-bed. { 2. The road-bed is practically horizontal. 3. The distribution of weight in the road-bed may beconsidered to be uniform. We can, therefore, obtain a sufficiently close approxima-tion if we consider an ideal bridge in which the cable andthe chains have no weight and the distribution of… … Fig. 41. The forces are: The tensile force, T0, acting horizontallyat 0. The tensile force, T, acting along the tangent to thecurve at P. The weight of that part of the bridge whichis between 0 and P. If w be the weight per unit lengthof the road-bed and x denotes the length OP, then the thirdforce…
