this thing is really pretty easy to figure out
the 4000 N force is applied to the center.

it is then divided by 4 because there are 4 arms extending
downwards from the center.

so each arm gets 1000N

at the end of each arm there is force at a 45 degree angle
this force continues straight but cannot apply itself in that
direction but the force can apply itself in a 45 degree angle
to the spring.

so the 4 1000N forces must pass through 2 45 degree angles before
they reach the springs.

since the original force was at 180 degrees the 180 degree force
is directed to the 90 degree angle , so the 4000N force is all
directed outward.

so the 1st 45 degree angle results in a force of 1000N at 45 degrees and
the 2nd 45 degree angle results in a force of 1000N at a 90 degree angle

these 4 1000N forces are lateral or at 90 degrees from the center.

the pipe wouldnt even feel any (-) force as the mass applies the 4000N force.

it seems to easy but this is the way forces work.

theres no need to draw a bunch of diagrams.

its a done deal , even it you do try and complicate it
its just too simple a machine.

its hard to complicate simplicity.
