Problems 1. A machine is mounted on a light rigid beam supported by two springs as shown in Fig. 10.10. The spring at has stiffness , and that at . As a result of the machine's action and location, a vertical force is applied at C. If the beam is initially horizontal, what is the deflection at when force is applied and what is the energy stored in each spring?
Expert Answer
As Shown in the figure, it should be solved by making a free-body diagram. As it given in question that initially the machine is horizontally placed. so we consider as the springs are having zero deflection at the moment.Now Find out the distributed forces at the end of the springs by F= 4.8KN,Force at A,
