(II) The subterranean tension ring that exerts the balancing
horizontal force on the abutments for the dome in Fig. 9–34
is 36-sided, so each segment makes a 10° angle with the
adjacent one (Fig. 9–77). Calculate the tension F that must
exist in each segment so that the required force of
4.2 x 105 N can be exerted at each corner (Example 9–13).
