The force of the weight.
And am I correct to understand that this force acts equally on each spring?
Which would mean that both springs (in series) are compressed the same distance as the individual spring is. Which in return would mean that the springs in series would be compressed a total...
Please help with this question, and if possible, please explain why.
If one spring is compressed 5 inches by a 10 pound weight. How much is two identical springs in series compressed by the same weight (total compressed distance)?
