Question: Two uniform beams are connected together through a spring as shown in Figure. Determine deflections, bending moment, and shear forces in the beams. What is the force in the spring? Tile numerical values are
E = 104 ksi; I = 1000 in4; L = 100 in; P = 100 kips; k = 2000 kip/in
Use kip. in units in calculations.
