400 NOTE TO CHAP. XIV. [APPENDIX. 



We can therefore easily calculate the strains in flanges A 

 and E for each weight. 



Thus, for P n 



A x 9.43 = 8.7 x 2.2 + 10.3 x 4.5 97.4, 

 or A = - 3.43. 



E x 10.4 = - 8.7 X 12.5 + 10.3 x 10.8 + 97.4, 

 or E = 9.60. 



The strain diagram can then be commenced, as shown in dia- 

 gram (c 1 ), Fig. X., and explained above. We can find by cal- 

 culation the flange H, and thus check our diagram. 



Proceeding thus, we obtain the following table of strains J
