    [RESOLVED] Springs, what is the k value (stiffness)

    I've got this system (see attached), it has a natural frequency of 2.8 Hz

    fn = 1/2pi * rt ( k / m )

    each spring has the same stiffness, what's the stiffness in each spring

    (i'm not 100% sure how this can work, and i reckon the answer i was given on the solutions sheet is wrong)

    does it act as 3 springs or what?

    thanks!
