The effective spring constant of two spring system as shown in figure will be
K1 + K2
K1 - K2
When external force is appiled, one spring gets extended and another one gets contracted by same distance. Hence, due to two springs act in same same direction. i. e.
Series combination of spring -
- wherein
are spring constants of spring 1 & 2 respectively.
