A system consists of two springs connected in series and having the stiffness coefficient k 1 and k 2 . Find the minimum worked to be performed in order to stretch this system by Δ λ .
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Since spring are connected in series, the combination may be treated as a single spring of spring constant.
From the equation of increment of M.B.,
