5-18. The rigid beam of negligible weight is supported horizontally by two springs and a pin. If the springs are uncompressed when the load is removed, determine the force in each spring when the load P is applied. Also, compute the vertical deflection of end C. Assume the spring stiffness k is large enough so that only small deflections occur. Hint: The beam rotates about A so the deflections in the springs can be related.

The 410-kg uniform beam is subjected to the three external loads shown. Compute the vertical reaction (N) at the support point O if P = 4270 N, Q = 3298 N, T = 40163 Nm, x = 1.11 m, y = 1.42 m, and z = 1.47 m and the system is in equilibrium.
The bracket is held to the wall using three A-36 steel bolts at B, C, and D. Each bolt has a diameter of 0.5 in. and an unstretched length of 2 in. If a force of 800 lb is placed on the bracket as shown, determine how far, s, the top bracket at bolt D moves away from the wall. For the calculation, assume that the bolts carry no shear; rather, the vertical force of 800 lb is supported by the toe at A. Also, assume that the wall and bracket are rigid. A greatly exaggerated deformation of the bolts is shown.
