Figure P7 shows a mass M suspended from a fixed ceiling by two identical verticals springs arranged in parallel. When the mass is attached, the systems comes to rest after undergoing a vertical deflection Δy.
Given:
If
M = 300 kg- Deflection Δy = 0.5 m
- Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s2
Assuming the system is in static equilibrium, determine the stiffness kk (in the appropriate units) of ONE spring.
Select the correct answer.
