Which of the following equations describes the equivalent spring stiffness for two springs in a series configuration with stiffnesses K_1 and K_2 ?

Question

Which of the following equations describes the equivalent spring stiffness for two springs in a series configuration with stiffnesses   K_1  and   K_2 ?

Answer

K_e = \frac{K_1K_2}{ (K_1 + K_2)}

Answer

K_e = \frac{1}{K_1} + \frac{1}{K_2}

Answer

K_e = \frac{1}{K_1 + K_2}

Answer

K_e = K_1 + K_2
