Two rigid bodies, 2 and 3, are connected by three springs as shown in the figure. A horizontal force of 1,000 N is applied on Body 3 as shown in the figure. Find the displacements of the three bodies and the forces (tensile/compressive) in the springs. What is the reaction at the wall? Assume the bodies can undergo only translation in the horizontal direction. The spring constants (N/mm) are N k, = 500 N k, = 500 N k, = 400- mm mm mm 3 F 3
