Two beams are connected by a linear spring as shown in the following figure. For a load P as shown in the figure, the percentage of the applied load P carried by the spring is ________.
-
- 33.33
- 22.22
- 22
- 12
Correct Option: A
| ∆ = | = | × 2L3 | ||
| K | 3EI |
| ∆ = |  | K = |  | |||
| 2L3 |
| ∆ = | 3EI |
| ⇒ | = R | 3 |
∴ % of applied load carried by spring
| = | × 100 = = 33.3% | 3 |
