Parallel = F = 2ke1 40 = 2ke = e = 20k

Single = F = 2ke = 20 = ke = e2 = 20k

eT=e1+e2=20k+20k=40k= K = 2N/cm

Extension of each spring = 10, k = 20N10cm = 2N/ cm

Next: The graph in Fig. 7 represent the relations between extension, e and mass, m added on two springs x and y.
Previous: Figure 2 shows a spring balance. Its spring constant is 125Nm-1. The scale spreads over a distance of 20 cm.
