Concept:

When two spring connected in parallel:

keq = k1 + k2

When two spring in series:

1 1 1
= +
keq k1 k2

Calculation:

Given:

k1 = k/2, k2 = k/2, k3 = k.

For the given spring-mass system (1) and (2) are in parallel whose equivalent stiffness is k12. The
overall equivalent stiffness will be in series between k12 and k3.

Between 1 and 2:

k12 = k1 + k2
k k
k12 = + = k
2 2

Between k12 and k3:

k12 and k3 are in series hence
