Bowser, Edward A. (Edward Albert), 1845-1910 · New York : D. Van Nostrand · leaf 237
load is distributed uniformly along thestraight line, FE, the parabola which passes through all thevertices, virtually coincides with the cord or chain formingthe polygon, and gives the figure of the Suspension Bridge.In this bridge the weights suspended from the successiveportions of the chain are… … Fig.7l Let the span, AB, = 2a, and the height, OD, = h.Then the equation of the parabola referred to the verticaland horizontal axes of x and y, respectively, through 0, is y2 = kmx, (i) 4ra being the parameter. Because the load between 0 and A is uniformly dis-tributed over the horizontal, OE, its…
