lol that post above got me more confused :(

could it be? x = \frac{F K_{2}+ F K_{1}}{K_{1}K_{2}}

so if i derive the equations u mentioned i will get k1 = \frac{F}{x1} and k2 = \frac{F}{x2} so k = k1+k2??

is there a difference between just a force constant and an effective one?

so that is the general relationship, but what about the effective force constant? Can i use the equation i mentioned in the op?

so the relevant equations i mentioned in the op has nothing to do with the problem statement?

the basic equations? like: a = \frac{Δv}{t} displacement = vt v = \frac{d}{t}

u might laugh at this but, does it mean that two constant springs connected to each other create a signle force constant and therefore act as if it were a single spring?

so the other two equation looks good except for the period? i dnt think i can use 2∏√\frac{m}{k} ??

so if there's two springs then it would be k1 = k2?
