Help with Roarks Table 9.2 Example 13 (7th) Edition

Help with Roarks Table 9.2 Example 13 (7th) Edition

(OP)
With regards this earlier thread posted below:

http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=311358

The value of 'w' has been calculated as 1.366kN/mm.

Where 'w' is defined as "unit load (force per unit of circumferential length)" earlier in the Roarks text.

I take this to mean the load at say 45 degrees from the horizontal position would be simply a case of multiplying 'w' by the length of the arc from 0 degrees (horizontal) to 45degrees - approximately 45.2mm in this case giving ~62kN and at 90 degrees the Max load would be ~123kN?
