Homework Statement
Obtain the equivalent spring constant, Keq, for the system shown.
Homework Equations
For a spring system in series the Keq for that system is Keq=(k2k3)/(k2+k3)
For a spring system in parallel the Keq for that system is Keq=k1+k2
The Attempt at a Solution
So based on my free body diagrams I just added the two together to get the Keq for the combined system.
Keq=k1+k2+(k2k3)/(k2+k3)
Please help,did I do this correctly?
