Three springs, A, B and C, are connected as shown below, with one end of A and C
attached to rigid supports. All springs are interconnected by a light, inextensible bar that
is constrained from rotating. Also, forces of 250 N and 175 N are applied to the springs
as shown. The stiffness of A, B and C are 100, 150 and 200 N/mm, respectively. By
modelling each spring as a linear simplex finite element, determine:
(a)
(b)
(c)
