Analysis of a Spring System Problems

The document presents two problems analyzing a spring system with specified spring constants and forces. Each problem requires determining the displacement of nodes, reaction forces, and identifying the highest value of elongation (∆L) along with its unit and corresponding node number. The spring constants and forces differ between the two problems, indicating varying configurations and calculations.
