\fQUESTION 1.6 o5 Choose one . 0 points Now let's hypothesize on the effect of having two springs working in series. {See picture below} Assume each spring has a constant of elasticity of 400 Ni'm when a force is applied. Ifyou used Hooke's law to nd the combined spring constant {k} ofthe combined springs, how do you think it would compare to the spring constant of ofjust one of the springs? Think about it and make your best guess. W J l ll l l ll I 3*:l The combined spring constant will be halved to 2m 0 The combined spring constant will be the same at man 0 The combined spring constant will be doubled to 800 \fCheck all the boxes on the right. Make sure your 2 springs are in parallel like in Q5. Set them both to a spring constant of 200 n/m. Use Hooke's Law (F=-kx) to solve for the spring constant of both springs combined. Do this by applying force and finding the resulting displacement. Use this force and displacement to find the spring constant(k) of the combines springs. What is the new spring constant for the 2 springs in parallel?
