A simply supported beam of length 2L is subjected to a uniformly distributed load 2w per unit length over its entire span. Additionally, a ring support located at the mid-span (L/2) applies an upward force to the beam. The magnitude of this force is one-third of the total load acting on the beam. Given the beam's material properties and dimensions, the goal is to determine the spring constant (k) of the ring support. 2w per unit length eee

A simply supported beam of length 2L is subjected to a uniformly distributed load 2w per unit
length over its entire span. Additionally, a ring support located at the mid-span (L/2) applies an
upward force to the beam. The magnitude of this force is one-third of the total load acting on
the beam. Given the beam's material properties and dimensions, the goal is to determine the
spring constant (k) of the ring support.
