Thanks buddy...
Oh yes, U r spot on.. I forgot to mention that the springs are identical..
The logic I followed was >>
In series,
* The compression is 10 cm
* This means each spring compresses by 5cm
* Since the springs are in series, both the springs experience the full 5 kg...
I came across an objective question on the topic 'Springs in series and parallel' .. Have i asnwered it correctly?
Q. A Force of 5Kg compresses 2 springs in series by 10 cm. What will be the compression when the same force acts on the same 2 springs but when the springs are in parallel...
