1.16 Four identical rigid bars-each of length a-are connected to a spring of stiffness k to form a structure for carrying a vertical load P, as shown in Figs. 1.72(a) and (b). Find the equiva- lent spring constant of the system keg for each case, disregarding the masses of the bars and the friction in the joints.
