A light spring with spring constant k1 is hung from elevated support. From its lower end, a second light spring is hung, which has spring constant k2. An object of mass m is hung at rest from the lower end of the second spring, 

(a) What is the total extension distance of the pair of springs?

(b) What is the effective spring constant k of the two-spring system?

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length31.0 cm. When one end is attached to the top of a door frame, and a7.60-kg object is hung from the other end, the length of the springis 40.00 cm.
(a) Find its spring constant.
