One end of a light spring with spring constant k₁ = 1,300 N/m is attached to the ceiling. A second light spring is attached to the
lower end, with spring constant k₂ = 1,650 N/m. An object of mass 1.50 kg is attached to the lower end of the second spring.
(a) By how much does the pair of springs stretch (in m)?
m
(b) What is the effective spring constant (in N/m) of the spring system?
N/m
(c) What If? Two identical light springs with spring constant 1,200 N/m are now individually hung vertically from the ceiling
and attached at each end of a symmetric object, such as a rectangular block with uniform mass density. In this case, with
the springs next to each other, we describe them as being in parallel. Find the effective spring constant (in N/m) of the pair
of springs as a system in this situation.
