Answer:
The spring force at A and B can be obtained
directly by summing moments_aJx)ut points B and A. respectively.
(+ IM, = 0; F A (1)- 392.4(3) =0 F A = 1 177.2 N
C+ 1M a = 0; F, (1) -392.4(4) = 0 F, = 1569.6 N
Spring Formula : Applying A = - , we have
Inn I S ,
A a = - 1 . 177 ' -- = 0.07*48 m A, = 156 ~ = 0. 10464 ra
