Infinite springs with force constants k,2k, 4k and 8k … respectively are connected in series. What will be the effective force constant of springs, when `k=10N//m`

Answer» When springs are in series, the effective force constant K is given by
`(1)/(K)=(1)/(k)=+(1)/(2k)+(1)/(4k)+(1)/(8k)+.........`
`=(1)/(k)(1+(1)/(2)+(1)/(2^(2))+(1)/(2^(3))+........)`
`(1)/(k)((1)/(1-(1)/(2)))=(2)/(k)`
or `K=(k)/(2)=(10)/(2)=5N//m`
