Homework Statement
How to calculate initial tension or pretension in a system of two parallel springs.
F=5.33213N
K1+K2=53.0597
x=0.095
Individual springs have initial tension of 0.25N so I would expect an answer of 0.5N but I can't get there.
Homework Equations
F=(k1+k2)x
The Attempt at a Solution
Total force applied - Initial tension = (k1+k2)x
Total force applied - (k1+k2)x = Initial tension = 0.29?
