Springs in Series#

content/public/008.Energy/Potential Energy/Springs in Series/SpringsinSeries.png

Two springs in series are displaced at the point they connect by a maximum force of \(F = {{params_F}}\ \rm{N}\), spring A has a spring coefficient of \(k_1 = {{params_k1}} \ \rm{N/m}\) and spring B has a spring coefficient of \(k_2 = {{params_k2}} \ \rm{N/m}\).

Part 1#

What is the total energy in the system? Ignore gravitational potential energy and consider that the springs are fixed at the ends.
