Expert Solution
Step 1

(a)

By conservation of energy,

Ef=Ei12kx22=12kx12x2=k1k2x1

Here x2 is the compression of the weaker spring, and x1 is the compression of the stronger spring.

Substitute the given values,

x2=32N·cm-116N·cm-14.0cmx2=5.66cm

Thus, the compression of the weaker spring is 5.66cm.
