Question: A block hangs from ring ' A ' . Ring ' A ' is supported by a spring C ' A ' with stiffness k

A block hangs from ring 'A'. Ring 'A' is supported by a spring C 'A' with stiffness k subscript 'A' C of 1.5 kilonewtons per meter and by a spring B 'A' with stiffness k subscript 'A' B of 1.2 kilonewtons per meter. Ends C and B of the springs are attached to a horizontal ceiling. Ring 'A' is 0.6 meters to the right of point C,0.4 meters to the left of point B, and 0.5 meters below points B and C. If the block is 25 kg, determine the unstretched length of spring AB after the block is removed.
