tatics, the linesof action of 1\ and Tj (the com-!■ ^s- pression in those rods) must in- tersect in a point, C, in the line of action of the resultantof Pi, Pj, and Pg ; i.e., of the loads occurring at the inter-vening vertices. That is, the point C must lie in the ver-tical containing the centre… … GRAPHICAL STATICS. 415 suits. Hence the vertical CD, containing the centre ofgravity of any number of consecutive loads, is easily foundby drawing the equilibrium polygon corresponding toany convenient force diagram having the proper load-line.This principle can be advantageously applied to…
