The problem of finding the forces in a hydrostateic Pearing
will be solved if we find the relative pressurest in the bearing
chambers hi. To find N of unknown hi we can set up for each chamber
an equation in the form of (3.148) and obtain a system of N equatiohs:
A/I,._,+ Bah 1+C 4 1i'i7 ly + -h- ±Eih }+Q
(i,2, . .. ,N). (3.149)
The radicals signs in the system of equatidns (3.149) are
determined..by the signs of the radicands. For unknown h! the
relationship hi+N = hi, i.e., h0 = hN, hNIl = hl, is valid.
The system of equatic.is (3.149) should be solved by the method
of successive approximations (Newton's methoa,,. Ih the zero
