Chapter , Problem 4.3

(choose chapter or problem)

In the arrangement shown in Figure P4.3, a cable is attached to the end of a cantilever beam. We will model the cable as a rod. Denote the translational spring constant of the beam by \(k_{b}\), and the translational spring constant of the cable by \(k_{c}\). The displacement x is caused by the applied force f.

a. Are the two springs in series or in parallel?

b. What is the equivalent spring constant for this arrangement?
