Two springs are connected in series as illustrated: How does the total spring constant compare to the individual spring constants? k1 and x1 k2 and x2 Ftot The total spring constant is higher than the individual spring constants. The total spring constant is equal to the sum of the two spring constants. Justify your answer.

Three springs in series. Now consider three springs set up in series as shown in Figure 2. The spring constants are k1, k2, and k3, and the force acting on the right end has magnitude F. Find the spring constant k' of the three-spring system. Express your answer in terms of k1, k2, and k3.
