Question:

A force P is slowly applied to a plate that is attached to two springs and causes a deflection n x0. In each of the two cases shown, derive an expression for the constant ke, in terms of k1 and k2, of the single spring equivalent to the given system, that is, of the single spring which will undergo the same deflection x0 when subjected to the same force P.
