Hello,
I want to simulate a plane thin rectangular board attached to one spring below at each end. (So there are 2 springs in total.) The springs span the entire edges. The spring-board-attachment is a rotatable axis.
I can't find out how the force acts on the springs. I don't know whether there will be any force on the spring below at the farer end. If I press directly above one end onto a spring only this spring gets compressed while the other does not because the board only rotates around its axis? If I press onto the center of the board, both springs receive equal force. What is with any other point of pressure though? What's the downwards force onto the springs??
Thanks!
