OA is the post fixed in the ground atO; OB is the jib ; AB is the tie. The jib, tie, and gearing aresuspended from the top of the post by a cross-head, whichadmits of a free rotation round the axis of the post. Let the crane lift a weight W. 14 THEORY OF STRUCTURES. Three forces in equilibrium meet at B\ viz., W, the tension7 in the tie, and the thrust 6 along the
