Homework Statement
Trying to find angle u of bars (symmetrical) with ground at equilibrium under load.
Two bars, negligible weight of length .4m
Spring at midpoint k = 3kN/m, unstretched when bars at 45 deg
F = 150N, 5 deg
W of block 10kg
Slope of ground under block 5 deg

I didn't include the braces in the lower portion, they didn't seem relevant, but they go from the top left to right mid and right mid to lower left corner.
I was thinking it's indeterminate as well, but the course doesn't cover indeterminate structures or how to solve them. Everything is...
Homework Statement
I'm having trouble with this structure, but I think I finally figured it out. I'm hoping to get a confirmation or a push in the right direction if I'm wrong. I'm trying to solve the truss in terms of the weight at the end.
