Question
A block with mass m = 4.3 kg is attached to two springs with spring constants kleft = 35 N/m and kright = 48 N/m. The block is pulled a distance x = 0.23 m to the left of its equilibrium position and released from rest.What is the magnitude of the net force on the block (the moment it is released)?

Answer:
Explanation:
A restoring force is created when a spring is either stretched or compressed.
Restoring force created by first spring = spring constant x contraction
= 35 x .23
= 8.05 N .
It will act towards the right .
Restoring force created by second spring = spring constant x extension
= 48 x .23
= 11.04 N .
It will also act towards the right .
Total force created due to contraction in the first spring and extension in the right spring = 8.05 +11.04 N
= 19.09 N .
