A column of length 3L is approximated by three bars of equal length connected by a torsional spring of appropriate stiffness k at each joint. The column is supported by a torsional spring of stiffness k at one end and is free at the other end. Derive an expression for determining the critical load of the system. Generalize the problem to the case of n connected bars.
