The Effective Spring Constant Keff for Two Springs (With Spring k1\mathrm{k}_{1}

Question 206

Multiple Choice

The effective spring constant keff for two springs (with spring constants of k1\mathrm{k}_{1} amd k2\mathrm{k}_{2} ) placed in series is given by the formula keff=k1k2k1+k2\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eff}}=\frac{\mathrm{k}_{1} \mathrm{k}_{2}}{\mathrm{k}_{1}+\mathrm{k}_{2}} . Solve the equation for k2\mathrm{k}_{2} .


A) k2=keffk1k1+keff\mathrm{k}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eff}} \mathrm{k}_{1}}{\mathrm{k}_{1}+\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eff}}}

B) k2=keffk1k1keff\mathrm{k}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eff}} \mathrm{k}_{1}}{\mathrm{k}_{1}-\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eff}}}

C) k2=keffk1k1\mathrm{k}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eff}}-\mathrm{k}_{1}}{\mathrm{k}_{1}}

D) k2=keffk1keffk1\mathrm{k}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eff}} \mathrm{k}_{1}}{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eff}}-\mathrm{k}_{1}}
