X in fig. 16 is a measure of the shearing forceat XX. So that in order to obtain a curve showing the variation in shearingforce along the ship, it is necessary to measure up to a series of stations the 2l6 SECTION G areas enclosed between the weight and buoyancy curves. Area above thebuoyancy curve… … Fig. 17. A typical shearing-force curve is given in fig. 17. The area enclosed under a shearing-force curve on one side of any chosensection is a measure of the bending moment at the corresponding sectionin the ship. Consequently, in order to obtain a curve of bending moments
