we have for the perpendicular0£ dropped from O on CD, OB = p = r sin <f>, where r is the radius of the journal. A circle described about O, withp as radius, has the total reaction of the bearing as a tangent. Thiscircle is called the friction circle. As </> is generally very small in… … Il6 STATICS. [193- must pass (as the point C in Fig. 60), its direction is found by drawingthrough this point a tangent to the friction circle. 193. If the shaft revolved in the opposite sense, i.e. clockwise(instead of counter-clockwise, as assumed in Fig. 60), the tangent tothe friction circle…
