Chapter 1, Problem 7E
Four rigid bodies, 1, 2, 3, and 4, are connected by four springs as shown in the figure. A horizontal force of 1,000 N is applied on body 1 as shown in the figure. Using FE analysis, (a) find the displacements of bodies 1 and 3, (2) find the element force (tensile/compressive) of spring 1, and (3) find the reaction force at the right wall (body 2). Assume the bodies can undergo only translation in the horizontal direction. The spring constants (N/mm) are:

The figure below shows a beam supported by a spring while subjected to a horizontal force f.
The spring has a natural unstretched length 7 and stiffness constant k. The total length of the
beam is 3L, the force acts at 2L (see figure). The spring sits on vertical slider, such that it
remains horizontal at all times.
