15.
A rigid bar is supported by a spring as shown in the given figure.

The deflection of the point B will be

The deflection of the point B will be
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The Force in spring F = (500x2L)/L = 1000N.
Deflection in the spring δ = F/k = 1000/50 = 20mm.
Deflection at the point B = 2δ = 40mm downward.

Here;
∑MA = 0,
R×L = 10×2L,
R = 2 kN.
Force in the spring=20 kN
F = Kx,
20kN = 1×x.
x = 20 mm.
Deflection under spring
= 20mm.
And by a similar triangle;
Deflection at B is 2x20 = 40mm.
∑MA = 0,
R×L = 10×2L,
R = 2 kN.
Force in the spring=20 kN
F = Kx,
20kN = 1×x.
x = 20 mm.
Deflection under spring
= 20mm.
And by a similar triangle;
Deflection at B is 2x20 = 40mm.

Stiffeners k= load per unit deflection.
