A 3 m long, horizontal, rigid, uniform beam PQ has negligible mass. The beam is subjected to a 3 kN concentrated vertically downward force at 1 m from P, as shown in the figure. The beam is resting on vertical linear springs at the ends P and Q. For the spring at the end P, the spring constant $K_P$ = 100 kN/m.

GATE CE 2024 Set 2 Engineering Mechanics - Equilibrium of Force Systems Question 1 English

A

150

B

100

C

50

D

200
