39, p. 40, having a com-bination of concentrated and uniformly distributed loads may besolved easily by means of the funicular polygon. Using the same linear scale of -^^ inch = i foot as for Fig. 39,and a load scale of 400 pounds to the inch, we shall first con-struct the funicular polygon for the… … Fh Choose a pole 0 at a perpendicular distance of i inch from a,so that the polar distance oa represents 400 pounds. We shallthen have for the bending-moment scale, y^o inch = i foot X400 pounds = 400 pounds-feet, whence 5V i^ch = 40 pounds-feet.Draw the vectors oa, ob, and oc. FUNICULAR POLYGON…
