A crate, weighs W= 300 lbs, is hanged using a rod CD and two springs AC and BC. The configuration shown in the figure below is under equilibrium condition. Note that the springs are stretched on this condition. You are asked to calculate the unstretched length of the springs if the spring constant kı = 2 lbs/in and k2 = 4 lbs/in.

Axial Load

When a bar of the uniform cross-section is acted by a load, such that the load acts along the longitudinal axis of the bar, such kinds of loadings are known as axial loadings. In general terms, a load is an external force acting on a component. An axial load acts perpendicular to the geometric cross-section of the component. Based on the direction of the application of the load, an axial load can be tensile or compressive. The analysis of bodies under the action of axial loads is generally studied under the branch of mechanics, known as statics.
