Question:
A 10-in slender rod weighing 6 lb is supported by a spring with a stiffness k = 60 lb/in. A force P = 35 lb is applied to the rod at the location shown in the figure. Determine the deflection of the spring
(a) by drawing a free-body diagram of the rod and applying the statics equilibrium conditions, and
(b) by applying the minimum total potential energy concept.
