I think its b too but i may be wrong
Answer:
Keq = 2k₃
Explanation:
We can solve this exercise using Newton's second one
F = m a
Where F is the eleatic force of the spring F = - k x
Since we have two springs, they are parallel or they are stretched the same distance by the object and the response force Fe is the same for the spring age due to having the same displacement
F + F = m a
k₃ x + k₃ x = m a
a = 2k₃ x / m
To find the effective force constant, suppose we change this spring to what creates the cuddly displacement
Keq = 2k₃
