ke q of the system ke q = 2 k + k + k (Since all the springs are effectively in parallel) ke q = 4 k

Q. What is the spring constant for the combination of springs shown in figure?

$k$

$2 k$

$4 k$

$\frac{5 k}{2}$

$k_{e q}$ of the system $k_{e q}$ $= 2 k + k + k$
(Since all the springs are effectively in parallel)
$k_{e q} = 4 k$

k

2k

4k

25k​

keq​ of the system keq​ =2k+k+k (Since all the springs are effectively in parallel) keq​=4k

$k$

$2 k$

$4 k$

$\frac{5 k}{2}$

$k_{e q}$ of the system $k_{e q}$ $= 2 k + k + k$
(Since all the springs are effectively in parallel)
$k_{e q} = 4 k$
