A 5-kg uniform serving table is supported on each side by pairs of two identical links, AB and CD, and springs CE. If the bowl has a mass of 1 kg, determine the angle ? where the table is in equilibrium. The springs each have a stiffness k = 200 N/m of and are unstretched when ? = 90^o. Neglect the mass of the links.
