Summary:: Calculating the inclination angle
A stick is on two springs with spring constants D1=500N/m and D2=300N/m. Consider the stick is without mass and can rotate around the point E, which is distant from spring 1 with 0,1m and from spring 2 with 0,8m. A force F=100N pulls the stick up. (sketch below)
a) Calculate the distance by which each spring will be stretched.
Here i got x1= 0,177m and x2= 0,037m
b) calculate the inclination angle (see sketch)
Do you have any idea how i can calculate the angle? A detailed answer would be very much appreciated.
