Differential equation THE LAPLACE METHOD CANNOT BE USED. When two springs in series, with constants k1 and k2 respectively, support a mass, the effective spring constant is calculated as: k = k1*k2 / k1+k2 A 420 g object stretches a spring 7 cm, and that same object stretches 2.8 cm another spring. Both springs are attached to a common rigid support and then to a metal plate, as shown in the figure of springs in series. Then the object joins the center of the plate (figure of springs in series). Determine: (a) the effective spring constant. (b) the position of the object at any time t, if the object is initially released from a point 60 cm below the position of equilibrium and with an upward velocity of 1.2 m / s. Consider the acceleration of gravity as 9.8 m / s2.
