A framework ABC consists of two rigid bars AB and BC. Each having a length b (see the first part of the figure part a). The bars have pin connections at A, B, and C and are joined by a spring of stiffness k. The spring is attached at the midpoints of the bars. The framework has a pin support at A and a roller support al C, and the bars are at an angle a to the horizontal.
