The mechanism of Prob. 4/141 is repeated here. The torsional spring at B is undeformed when bars
Question:
The mechanism of Prob. 4/141 is repeated here. The torsional spring at B is undeformed when bars OB and BD are both in the vertical position and overlap. If a force F is required to position the bars at a steady orientation ? = 60?, determine the torsional spring stiffness kT. The slot at C is smooth, and the weight of the bars is negligible. In this configuration, the pin at C is positioned at the midpoint of the slotted bar.

Problem. 4/141??
The torsional spring at B is undeformed when bars OB and BD are both in the vertical position and overlap. If a force F is required to position the bars at a steady orientation ? = 60?, determine the torsional spring stiffness kT. The slot at C is smooth, and the weight of the bars is negligible. In this configuration, the pin at C is positioned at the midpoint of the slotted bar.
