If you connect in series 4 springs of the same rigidity k, then the rigidity of such a connection will be equal.

The rigidity of such a system will be similar to the total resistance of resistors when connected in parallel (if you know what it is about): 1 / k total = 1 / k1 + 1 / k2 + 1 / k3 + 1 / k4. Since the stiffnesses of the springs are equal, we get: 1 / k total = 4 / k => k total = k / 4.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
