In a system, two connected rigid bars AC and BC are of identical length, L, with pin supports at A and B. The bars are interconnected at C by a frictionless hinge. The rotation of the hinge is restrained by a rotational spring of stiffness, k. The system initially assumes a straight line configuration, ACB. Assuming both the bars as weightless, the rotation at supports, A and B, due to a transverse load, P applied at C is:
A
PL / 4k
B
PL / 2k
C
P / 4k
D
Pk / 4L

Correct : pl / 4k
