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.
