The area of the segment is equal to the area of the sectorADBO2 minus the area of the triangle ABO,. r,„..^ -1 Tab -1. Area Fj = 2R. — (N -f .r) in which the value for x is found from the two right-angled tri-angles BEO, and BEO2. In triangle BEO,, x + (BE) = R,=, and in triangle BEO=. (x 4- N)= + (BE)= = R=:. Solving both equations for (BE) =and combining: R2 — R-i — N= SEGMENT COUNTERBALANCE. Using the same notation, as above For equilibrium of forces. FtSolving for x Wa Ftq Combining the two equations and solving for AB we find AB = \ tq SECTOR BALANCE. Let M =: Number of spaces filled by = Number of spokes in wheel.
