Shown in the figure is a model of a one-story building. The bar of mass m is supported by two light elastic upright columns whose upper and lower ends are fixed against rotation. For each column, if a force P and corresponding moment M were applied as shown in the right-hand part of the figure, the deflection would be given by =PL3/12EI, where L is the effective column length, E is Young’s modulus, and I is the area moment of inertia of the column cross section with respect to its neutral axis. Determine the natural frequency of horizontal oscillation of the bar when the columns bend as shown in the figure.
