[QUOTE="Delta2, post: 6244933, member: 189563"] No b) is not the correct answer. You can find the correct answer if you know that when two springs are connected in parallel, then the equivalent total ##k_{eq}## is ##k_{eq}=k_1+k_2## while if they are connected in series then the equivalent ##k_{eq}## is ##\frac{1}{k_{eq}}=\frac{1}{k_1}+\frac{1}{k_2}##. Using these basic equations you can calculate the ##K_{eq}## for each of the configurations (a) to (d) and see which turns out to be equal to just ##k##. [/QUOTE]
