12.4. Figure P12.4(a) shows a rigid bar AB of length L, which is pinned at B and compressed by a horizontal force P at A. The side of the bar is bonded to a block of rubber which can be modelled as an elastic foundation of modulus k, as shown in Figure P12.4(b). In other words, the rubber exerts a vertical force w(z) per unit length given by w{z) = ku(z), where k is a constant and u(z) is the local vertical displacement. Find the value of P at which the system becomes unstable. (a)

A composite spring has two close coiled helical springs connected in parallel and compressed between two parallel plates by a load of 1000 N. Each spring has 10 coils and is of the same initial length. The springs have a wire diameter of 10 mm, and the radii of coils are 50 and 75 mm. If the smaller spring is placed inside the larger one such that both the springs are compressed by the same amount, calculate: a) The total deflection, and b) The maximum stress in each spring. Take G = 40 GPa for both the springs
