- Differential equation THE LAPLACE METHOD CANNOT BE USED. When two springs in series, with constants k1 and k2 respectively,support a mass, the effective spring constant is calculated as:k = k1*k2 / k1+k2 A 420 g object stretches a spring 7 cm, and that same object stretches 2.8 cmanother spring. Both springs are attached to a common rigid support and then toa metal plate, as shown in the figure of springs in series. Then the object joins thecenter of the plate (figure of springs in series). Determine: (a) the effective spring constant.(b) the position of the object at any time t, if the object is initially releasedfrom a point 60 cm below the position ofequilibrium and with an upward velocity of 1.2 m / s.Consider the acceleration of gravity as 9.8 m / s2.arrow_forwardضحقهكشتبhelparrow_forwardA circular pipe of internal diameter 30 mm and thickness 4 mm is subjected to a force 30 kN and the elongation was measured as 1 mm.
