Shown above is a massless pulley system with two springs attached in parallel with \(k_1 = {{params.k1}} \ \rm{N/m}\) and \(k_2 = {{params.k2}} \ \rm{N/m}\). A force \(F = {{params.F}} \ \rm{N}\) is applied upwards. Determine the displacement \(\Delta x_1\) and \(\Delta x_2\) of each of the springs after we apply \(F\).

Part 1#

What is \(\Delta x_1\)?

Answer Section#

Please enter in a numeric value in \(\rm{cm}\).

Part 2#

What is \(\Delta x_2\)?

Answer Section#

Please enter in a numeric value in \(\rm{cm}\).
