By finally measuring the known distance BB’ = 6, starting from

B, it is possible to draw the coinciding sides B’ ,V ‚Vl and ,VI,C.

While the supposition Mg =O on the one hand causes a descent

Let in the second place the value of one metreton be given to 
the moment of transition J/p°). 
In this case the situations of the points of support are again 
known. The supposition Mg =1 metreton namely gives rise, if the

In the way indicated in § 3 there arises now a link-polygon

While as a result of the introduction of the moment of transition 
of one metreton the point ,C’ has moved upward over the distance 
‚CC, the endpoint ,C of the elastic link-polygon AI, II, II,

It will now be shown that on the introduction of a moment of 
transition of x metreton two points „C and „C arise, the situations 
of which are defined by the equations: 
CxO =x.(,C ,C), 
(E20) A: (GORE) 
in other words it will be proved that the two series of points „C 
and „C are similar. 
5. If above the point of support B a moment of transition of x

positive, when the right part of the beam exerts a dextro-rotatory couple on the 
left part.
