Consider a spring that stretches 4 cm when a load of 10 N is suspended from it. How much will the spring stretch if an identical spring also supports the load as shown in (a) and (b)? (Neglect the weights of the springs.)
In the three-legged table, the far leg is at x = ℓ/3. Calculate (in pounds) the support force in the right leg.
The table's weight is 91 lb.
w = 4 ft
ℓ = 11 ft
