The Mass in the Figure Below Slides on a Frictionless k1+k22(x1+x2)-\frac{k_{1}+k_{2}}{2}\left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right)

Question 10

Multiple Choice

The mass in the figure below slides on a frictionless surface. When the mass is pulled out, spring 1 is stretched a distance x1 from its equilibrium position and spring 2 is stretched a distance x2. The spring constants are k1 and k2 respectively. The force pulling back on the mass is:  The mass in the figure below slides on a frictionless surface. When the mass is pulled out, spring 1 is stretched a distance x1 from its equilibrium position and spring 2 is stretched a distance x2. The spring constants are k1 and k2 respectively. The force pulling back on the mass is:   A) (-k2x1.)  B) (-k2x2.)  C) (-(k1x1 + k2x2) .)  D)   -\frac{k_{1}+k_{2}}{2}\left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right)   . E)   -\frac{k_{1}+k_{2}}{k_{1} k_{2}}\left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right)   .
