The cantilever beam in Figure P16.2 is supported on a spring at jointB. The spring stiffness is 10 kips/in. Given:E = 30,000 kips/in

(a) Compute the stiffness coefficient associated with a 1-in vertical displacement at jointB.(b) Compute the vertical deflection of the spring produced by a vertical load of 15 kips acting downward atB. (c) Determine all support reactions produced by the 15-kip load.
