Explanation:
For this exercise let's use hooke's law
F = - k x
where x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.
x =
if we have several springs in series, the total displacement is the sum of the displacement for each spring, F the external force applied to the springs
x_ {total} = ∑ x_i
we substitute
x_ {total} = ∑ -F / ki
F / k_ {eq} = -F
1 / k_ {eq} = ∑ 1 / k_i
if all the springs are the same
k_i = k
