- You have 4 springs, one each 3.5, 6, 8.5, 11 newtons per meter. How close an equivalent stiffness to the average of the four springs (7.25 newtons per meter [N/m]) can you make using only these springs? You may use all four springs to do this, but you may use less if that will yield an equivalent stiffness closer to the average.arrow_forwardAs indicated, three blocks were suspended in the air by massless strings that passed through massless and fixed pulleys. m (middle mass) = 5.00 [kg].
