engineering recuitment GATE ME 2023-24 Test Series Engineering Mechanics Equilibrium and Friction Equilibrium
The sliding guide A may slide freely on horizontal frictionless rod as shown in figure. The spring attached to the sliding guide has a stiffness of 5 kN/m and is undeformed when the sliding guide is directly below the support B. Determine the magnitude of force P (in kN) required to maintain equilibrium when a = 450 mm and b = 200 mm.
Enter numerical value using the virtual keypad. Round off where necessary.
