Question:

In the arrangement shown in Figure, a cable is attached to the end of a cantilever beam. We will model the cable as a rod. Denote the translational spring constant of the beam by kb, and the translational spring constant of the cable by kc. The displacement x is caused by the applied force f.
a. Are the two springs in series or in parallel?
b. What is the equivalent spring constant for this arrangement?
