For the five-spring assemblage shown in Figure P2–17,
determine the displacements at nodes 2 and 3 and the reactions at nodes 1 and
4. Assume the rigid vertical bars at nodes 2 and 3 connecting the springs
remain horizontal at all times but are free to slide or displace left or right.
There is an applied force at node 3 of 1000 N to the right.
