In this same series spring system, what is the
effective combined spring constant kseries of
the two springs?
Answer in units of N/cm.
x=force(1/k1+1/k2)
or force= x kc and kc=1/(1/k1+1/k2)=
kc= k1*k2/(k1+k2)
check that.
could you please explain what to do?? cuz im lost....
To find the effective combined spring constant in a series spring system, you need to consider the individual spring constants of the two springs.
The formula for calculating the effective combined spring constant in a series spring system is given by:
1/kseries = 1/k1 + 1/k2
where k1 and k2 are the individual spring constants of the two springs.
To solve the equation, you need to know the spring constants of the individual springs. Once you have the values, substitute them into the equation and solve for kseries. Remember to convert the answer to the required units of N/cm.
Without the specific values of k1 and k2, I'm unable to give you the exact answer. Please provide the spring constants of the individual springs so that I can assist you further.
