the 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 To, which acts horizon-tally at 0. The tensile force T, which acts along the tangentto the curve at P. The weight of that part of the bridgewhich is between 0 and P. If w be the weight per unitlength of the road-bed and x denotes the length, OF, thenthe…
