A floating column AB of length L, is modelled with top end fixed and bottom end yielding under column load. The yielding support can be visualised as an axial spring of stiffness k. If an axial force Pis applied at a distance 'a' from the top, determine reactions at the ends A and B and displacement at the end B.
