As in the figure, a mass is attached to two springs (one on either side). The two spring constants are different: k1 = 1480 N/m and k2 = 1990 N/m. If mass m is moved 2.8 cm away from the equilibrium position (where the net force acting on the mass is zero), what will be the magnitude of the net spring force acting on the mass be? N If the net spring force acting on the mass is known to be 63 N (directed to the right), what is the displacement of the mass away from its equilibrium position (use a negative sign for a displacement to the left and positive for a displacement to the right): cm

If mass m is moved 2.8 c m away from the equilibrium position (where the net force acting on the mass is zero), what will be the magnitude of the net spring force acting on the mass be? N
If the net spring force acting on the mass is known to be 63 N (directed to the right), what is the displacement of the mass away from its equilibrium position (use a negative sign for a displacement to the left and positive for a displacement to the right): c m
