The angle

Answer to Problem 10.61P
The angle
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Load
A diagram with all required dimensions has been given.
Calculation:
Consider the deflection of each spring is
By using the geometry, deflection of each spring
The total potential energy = gravitational potential energy + potential energy of springs
Where,
Ve = Sum of potential energy of all springs
(Each value of potential energy of spring
Substituting, 2 and 3 in 1.
Now, differentiate V with respect to
Differentiating with respect to
Now, substituting
Similarly, differentiating with respect to
Now, substituting
Solving linear equations 4 and 5 simultaneously we get,
So taking inverse,
