Answer» Yes it is possible. Let displace the block right side by x, then, force due to spring 1 is (k1)x and due to other is (k2)x because elongation in Spring 1 is x and compression in spring 2 is also x. Total force is, = (k1x+k2x) =(k1+k2)x So, the equivalent Spring Constant is (k1+k2) .

Answer»

Yes it is possible.

Let displace the block right side by x,

then, force due to spring 1 is (k1)x and due to other is (k2)x because elongation in Spring 1 is x and compression in spring 2 is also x.

Total force is,

= (k1x+k2x)

=(k1+k2)x

So, the equivalent Spring Constant is (k1+k2) .
