Question
### Part A

**Problem Statement:**
Determine the angle of tilt of the beam when the load is applied. Express your answer in degrees to three significant figures.

**Details:**
The beam is horizontal, and the springs at points A and B are unstretched when there is no load on the beam. Suppose that \( k_A = 1 \, \text{kN/m} \) and \( k_B = 2 \, \text{kN/m} \).

---

**Figure 1 Explanation:**

- The figure depicts a horizontal beam CD.
- There are two vertical springs connected to the beam:
  - Spring \( k_A \) is connected at point C.
  - Spring \( k_B \) is connected at point D.
- A uniformly distributed load of \( 600 \, \text{N/m} \) is applied across the entire beam.

**Dimensions:**
- The length of the beam CD is 6 meters.
- Points C and D are spaced evenly at 3 meters from the midpoint of the beam.

---

**Calculation:**
The student is required to calculate the angle θ of the beam's tilt due to the applied load and enter it in the provided box in degrees to three significant figures.

**Note:**
The answer input in the box is \( 0.052 \, \text{rad} \), but the feedback indicates the answer is incorrect, and there are four remaining attempts. 

---

**Action:**
Students can re-evaluate their calculations and submit their corrected answers. The problem likely involves solving a system of equilibrium equations considering the load and spring constants.
