Example 1.6 Find the leads on the lift and drag-truss members of the externally braced monoplaite wing shown in Fig. 1.18. The air load is assumed to be uniformly distributed along the span of the wing. The diagonal drag-truss members are wires, with the tension diagonal effective and the other diagonal carrying no load. Solurion The vertical load of $20\mathrm{lb}/\mathrm{in}$ is distribulcd to the spars in inverse proportion to the distance between the center of pressure and the spars. The (a) (c) Figure 1.18
