As we know K µ
l Sol. Work done by the gravity (Wg) = mgh
so spring constants for spring segments will be = 10–3 × 10 × 103 = 10 J
K1 = 6K, K2 = 3K, K3 = 2K By work–energy theorem = Wg + Wres = DKE
so in parallel combination
K" = K1 + K2 + K3 = 11K
in series combination
EN
K' = K (As it will become original spring)
so K' : K" = 1 : 11 5.
