Statical Indeterminacy $-$ Workshop $2$

The figure below shows two massless rigid bars supported by three linear springs.

$($a$)$ Determine the degree of statical indeterminacy for the structure and then sketch the

deflected shape under the loading shown.

$($b$)$ Use the principles of compatibility and equilibrium to find the forces in the springs.

$($c$)$ Check your answer using LinPro.
