The weight of the uniform bar AB is W. The stiffness of the ideal spring attached to B is k, and the spring is unstretched when =80. If W=kL, the bar has three equilibrium positions in the range 0, only one of which is stable. Determine the angle at the stable equilibrium position.
The figure shows a three-pin arch. Determine the horizontal component of the pin reaction at A caused by the applied force P.
The spring attached to the homogenous bar of weight W is undeformed when =0. Determine the smallest spring stiffness k for which the =0 equilibrium position will be stable. Use W = 10 lb, a = 24 in., and b = 6 in. Assume that the spring remains horizontal, which is a valid approximation if is small.
