Question : 40 of 65

Marks: +1, -0

In a system, two connected rigid bars AC and BC are of identical length, L with pin supports at A and B. The bars are interconnected at C by a frictionless hinge. The rotation of the hinge is restrained by a rotational spring of stiffness, k. The system initially assumes a straight line configuration, ACB. Assuming both the bars as weightless, the rotation at supports, A and B, due to a transverse load, P applied at C is:

$\;{PL}/{4k}$
$\;{PL}/{2k}$
$\;{P}/{4k}$
$\;{Pk}/{4L}$
