Mechanics and Structural Analysis

  1. A guided support as shown in the figure below is represented by three springs (horizontal, vertical and rotational) with stiffness kx, ky and kq respectively. The limiting values of kx, ky and kθ are:
    1. ∞, 0, ∞
    2. ∞, ∞, ∞
    3. 0, ∞, ∞
    4. ∞, ∞, 0
Correct Option: A

Stiffness = Force/Deflection
As per given figure rotation and horizontal deflection is zero
∴ Stiffness is ∞. Stiffness is zero in y direction.
