64. Two springs have the same unstretched length but different spring
constants, k₁ and k₂. (a) If they're connected side by side and
stretched a distance x, as shown in Fig. 4.24a, show that the force
exerted by the combination is (k₁ + k₂)x. (b) If they're con-
nected end to end (Fig. 4.24b) and the combination is stretched a
distance x, show that they exert a force k₁k2x/(k₁ + k₂).

65. Although we usually write Newton's second law for one-dimensional
motion in the form F =ma, which holds when mass is constant,
d(mv)
a more fundamental version is F
=
.
Consider an object
dt
whose mass is changing, and use the product rule for derivatives to
show that Newton's law then takes the form F
dm
= ma + v
