Wehere suppose the rib homogeneous (, the modulus ofElasticity E is the same throughout), that it is a curvedprism (, that the moment of inertia I of the cross-section is constant), that the piers are on a level, and thatthe rib-curve is symmetrical about a vertical line. Fig. 424. For each point m of the ribcurve we have an x and y (bothknown, being the co-ordinates ofthe point), and also a z (interceptt- between rib and special equilib-^ rium polygon) and a z (intercept. * P. 25 of Prof. Eddys book ; see reference in preface of this work. 4G2 MECHANICS OF ENGENEEKING. between the spec. eq. pol. and the axis X (which is OB),The first condition given in § 378 for Class C may betransformed as follows, remembering [§ 367 eq.
