In each of the two plane structure (a,b) shown in Fig 1, rigid blocks are connected by linear spring. Imagine that only horizontal displacements are allowed. In each case, write the structure equilibrium equations [K]{D}= {R} in term of spring stiffness Ki, displacement degree of freedom ui, and applied load Fi.

The device shown in the figure consists of a prismatic rigid pointer ABC supported by a uniform translational spring of stiffness k = 950 N/m. The spring is positioned a distance P = 165 nun from the pinned end A of the pointer. The device is adjusted so that, when there is no load P, the pointer reads zero on the angular scale. (a) If the load P = 11 N, al what distance .v should the load be placed so that the pointer will read ?? = 2.5° on the scale (see figure part a)? (b) Repeal part (a) if a rotational spring E1= kb-6 is added al A (see figure part b). (c) Lel.x = 7b/8.What is P maxif 0 cannot exceed 2"? Include spring krin your analysis. (d) Now, if the weight of the pointer ABC is known to be W =3N and the weight or the spring is Ws= 2.75 N, what initial angular position (Left in degrees) of the pointer will result in a zero reading on the angular scale once the pointer is released from rest? Assume P = kr=0. (e) If the pointer is rotated lo a vertical position (see figure part c), find the required load P applied at mid-height of the pointer that will result in a pointer reading of 0 = 2.5" on the scale. Consider the weight of the pointer W. in your analysis.

In the arrangement shown in the figure, a cable is attached to the end of a cantilever beam. We will model the cable as a rod. Denote the translational spring constant of the beam by kb and the translational spring constant of the cable by kc. The displacement x is caused by the applied force f. What is the equivalent spring constant for this arrangement?
