Applying overall equilibrium to this case it is noted that the resultant vertical force over any semi-circle, of radius r, must equal the applied force P:
7T r
This can be transformed into x and y coordinates:
See also §8.3.3 for further transformation of these equations.
This type of solution can be extended to consider the wedge problem, again subject to a line load as shown in Figs. 8.40(a) and (b).
