The weight of the uniform bar AB is W. The stiffness of the ideal spring attached to B is k, and the spring is unstretched when =80. If W=kL, the bar has three equilibrium positions in the range 0, only one of which is stable. Determine the angle at the stable equilibrium position.
The bar ABC is supported by three identical, ideal springs. Note that the springs are always vertical because the collars to which they are attached are free to slide on the horizontal rail. Find the angle at equilibrium if W = kL. Neglect the weight of the bar.
The uniform bar AB of weight W and length L is pinned to a sliding collar at A and to the sliding rod BD at B. The spring wound around rod BD has a stiffness k and is undeformed when rod AB is in the position =0. Determine the expression for the angle (other than =90 ) at equilibrium and investigate the stability of equilibrium for this position.
