- 3 - Tln/CJC. 3.FL. 19.3.64 Now the sign of either We couple is effectively reversed if the cantilevers supporting the loads W at the appropriate end are crossed FIGURE 3 This is equivalent to:- FIGURE 4 LONGITUDINAL AXIS. TRANSVERSE AXIS. About the longitudinal axis, the net couple at the e2 end is = -W.b + 2.W.b = Wb{Mr Brazier/Mr Bell} = couple at e1 end. so equilibrium about longitudinal axis is unchanged.
