Let the location of the load be a = 150 mm in Problem 5.46. Determine the deflection under the load Q.

Problem 5.46

The beam in Figure P5.46 is made of brass (E = 83 GPa) and has a square cross section with a dimension of 10 mm. The identical coil springs have constant k = 30 kN/m. A load Q = 250 N is applied at midspan (a = 100 mm). Determine the deflection at midspan.
