Given information
As we know the force applied by a spring on an object is given by
Where is the spring force constant and is the displacement
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Here -ve sign shows that the force is in opposite direction to the displacement.
Here the spring force constant of spring-l is and of spring-2 is .
If the force acting on an object due to spring-l is and displaced the object by a distance , then according to equation (I), we have
Similarly, if the force acting on an object due to spring- 2 is and displaced the object by a distance , then according to equation, we have
