Two Connected Springs in Parallel

A spring is an elastic object used to store mechanical energy.

The spring constant for two springs in parallel is the sum of their spring constants.

Formula

QuantityVariable["k", "SpringConstant"] == QuantityVariable[Subscript["k", "1"], "SpringConstant"] + QuantityVariable[Subscript["k", "2"], "SpringConstant"]

symbol description physical quantity
k spring constant "SpringConstant"
k1 spring constant 1 "SpringConstant"
k2 spring constant 2 "SpringConstant"
