Determine the forces acting on springs A, B, and C in the given diagram.

Step 1: Determine the forces acting on each spring.
The $25.5 \text{ N}$ weight is supported directly by spring C.

$$F_C = 25.5 \text{ N}$$

The horizontal bar has a weight of $2.5 \text{ N}$. This bar is supported by springs A and B. The bar also supports spring C and the $25.5 \text{ N}$ weight. Therefore, the total downward force on springs A and B is the sum of the bar's weight and the force from spring C.
