Question
A block of mass m, connected to two springs of spring constants k1 and k2 as shown, oscillates on a smooth horizontal surface. What is the effective spring constant of the oscillation?
Short Note
Solution
The springs are in parallel. F = − k1x − k2x = − (k1 + k2)x Therefore, the effective spring constant of the oscillation = k1 + k2.
