= 4o ft., A D = 8 ft., DE=i6 ft., andthe load on D E is 200 lb. per ft., JF=3,2oo lb., and CB = 24 ft. 4Q STRUCTURAL MECHANICS. Therefore Pi = — =1,920 lb., and P2=3,200—1,920=1,280 lb. 40 If several weights are given in position and magnitude, thesame process for finding the reactions, or forces… … be checked by taking moments about A to find P2, the moment 100-2then being negative. If the depth of water against a bulkhead, Fig. 8, is 9 ft., and thedistance between A and B, the points of support, is 6 ft., A being atthe bottom, the unit water pressure at A will be 9X62.5 = 562.5 lb.which may…
