Starting from the basic definition of stiffness, determine
the effective stiffness of the combined spring and write the
equation of motion for the spring–mass systems shown in

This problem can be solved either by starting from the
definition of stiffness or by using the results of Problems
N
P1.1 and P1.2. We adopt the latter approach to illustrate
the procedure of reducing a system with several springs to
a single equivalent spring.

First, using Problem 1.1, the parallel arrangement of
k1 and k2 is replaced by a single spring, as shown in Fig.
C
1.3b. Second, using the result of Problem 1.2, the series
arrangement of springs in Fig. 1.3b is replaced by a single
