Fig. 133. Fig. 134. 134). In this case the power (P) is the tension of the string (orthrust of the prop), and its moment is P.AF; the weight is that ofthe bar acting at its centre of gravity B, and its moment is W.BF.The value of P, derived from the equation RAF= W.BF, will give the tension of the…
