Introduction
The Parallel Spring Bracket allows springs to be combined in
series and parallel. Masses can be hung in offset positions to
compensate for springs of different strengths.
The Parallel Spring Bracket is ideal for:
• exploring how spring constants add when springs are
arranged in series or in parallel,
• demonstrating the analogy between combinations of springs
and combinations of capacitors, and
• exploring torque acting on the hook bar by placement of the
mass and springs at different positions.
