A stiff bar of negligible weight transfers a load P to a combination of three helical springs arranged in parallel as shown in the figure below. The springs are made up of the same materials and out of rods of equal diameters. They are of same free length before loading. The number of turns in those three springs are 10, 14 and 18 respectively, while the mean diameters are in the ratio 1.0 : 1.5 : 2.0 respectively. Find the distance "x" such that the bar remains horizontal after the application of the load P. 6 ft 6 ft
