I really need a great help in covering all General Organic Chemistry Principles concepts! :/ would you please help! :-} Please suggest some thing, how do I remember the Name Reactions?

[@shaffroncity]

@@anjana5887 Sure! What worked for me was making reaction maps and filling them in over and over!! For example, you can make a reaction map for say addition reactions ( or google one!!) by starting with an organic reactant, then draw an arrow to the product and fill in the blank reagents. You should also write the name the reaction while you do this, try to visualize or say out loud the mechanism/arrow-pushing, and other important info like "syn" or "anti" etc. You can also list reactants, then fill in the blanks with predicted products or vice versa. The key is to do this a bunch of times and to really force yourself not to look things up in your book/notes too much! The repetition + having to recall the info from memory is what helped me most. Another thing I did to remember reaction names or reagents was to make silly rhymes or numonics. Like for OSO4 I remembered "oh so syn-ister" to remember it was syn addition of OH lol I hope this helps!! You got this :D

[@AnuarsTV]

I really don't know if what you are saying is true, but are you agree with me that the "x" is not the length of the spring? x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.

[@sreepriya2133]

If springs are in series and parallel connection which parameter remain constant for all the springs???

[@fadsmfawopefaw]

Thank you so much! I've never had a proper physics mechanics class before and I was clueless but it makes sense now. You are an amazing teacher!

[@MisterBinx]

I'm doing this problem where I am calculating the spring constant of a vertical rod with a mass at the center. But I'm thinking the springs are in parallel instead of series. The total deflection at the center will be the same on both sides of the mass. In the problem both ends are fixes so both deflections have to be the same. I guess we only count them in series if the deflections of the springs are different.

[@solarsynapse]

More related to capacitors than resistors? Is it a fair guess that this applies to compression springs as well?

[@mayasinha7188]

It was crystal clear explanation.. thanks sir !

[@lala-vh6fg]

Thank you! Very clear explanation

[@AnuarsTV]

You are right. But if you stretch it farther to get it back to the same length as when it was longer and stretched, then the new "x" will not be equal, neither the half of the original "x" (when it was longer and stretched).

[@daivahfiona4479]

how do you do the formula for springs in opposing series of 2 different sizes and rates. etc I have a .50kg/mm x 450mm long spring in a opposing series set up with a .60kg/mm x 70mm. lets say that the 450mm spring compresses to 400mm and that would put the 70mm spring at 20mm n length. as the longer spring compresses the shorter spring extends till springs seperate completely. What would the rate be of the springs before they separate? I used the k1 x k2 / k1+ k2 = rate I know this formula works stacking them on top of each other but when doing the opposing series, do I use the inverse and subtract from the longer spring rate?? thanks Daivha

[@thereishope651]

thank you.Can you send me if the period of motion of amass connected to two springs connected to each other in series and parallel

[@lasseviren1]

That's T=2(pi)sqrt(m/k) where k is the effective k of both springs that is derived in this video.

What happen to the no of coils in parallel series would they be equal to Spring Stiffness ?

[@ColonelScotch]

Thank you so much! I'm doing dynamics hw and we're now on the chapter about Work and energy!

[@Coneman3]

Does the equal extension of each spring in series also apply to springs compressed by a weight?

[@lasseviren1]

This physics is the same when the springs are compression springs being compressed by a weight. Though, as in the video, if the springs have different constants they will compress different amounts. The spring with the greater spring constant will compress less.

[@Coneman3]

So imagine a mass is resting on a spring and it compressed it x amount. Then imagine another, identical spring below both the mass and the other spring, ie in series. Would the second spring compress the same as the one above it? I would guess it would because the mass in the second spring is similar to that on the first. Is that right? Intuitively this seems wrong as the mass is compressing 2 springs the same amount, and this seems like twice the force, which can’t be true?

[@lasseviren1]

@@Coneman3 If the springs are identical and of negligible mass, then each spring would compress the same amount. So if each spring has a k of 100 N/m the mass has a weight of 10N, then each spring would compress 0.1 m. But if they have different k's, say 100 N/m and 200N/m, then the first would compress 0.1 m and the second would compress 0.05 m, regardless of their order but assuming they are in series. See this video for a fuller explanation of why the force on the bottom spring is the same as the force on the top spring: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jInYY5qXqdOAjac&ab_channel=lasseviren1

[@Coneman3]

Many thanks for the quick and detailed reply. My initial thought have been confirmed by you. A spring below a mass at steady state is simply a mass to anything below it, as if the spring wasn’t there. It just seems counterintuitive because spring compression seems to always follow the rule of being in proportion to the force acting on it, in this case the mass. But if springs in series ‘shared’ the load, it would in effect be like the weight of the mass was shared, when that would be impossible. A simpler way of thinking about it could be that if I was to hold a mass off the floor, then someone held me, they would be taking me plus all the weight. This all springs in series under the same mass experience similar loads. Similar because mass of springs above has to be added too. This is going to help in a product I am developing, so it’s not just a theoretical enquiry 😉

[@MuhammadAhmed8]

if the spring is cut into two equal halfs,how is the time period affected

[@varunshah3290]

Muhammad Ahmed I think you have to multiply by √2. If we take the spring with stiffness k and split it in two parts, we get two springs each with stiffness k. Thus effective stiffness is half of k. Substitute into the formula for period we get 2π√(m/0.5k) which is 2π√(2m/k) which is just multiplying by √2

[@ramanjotsingh2172]

If there are to springs of spring constant K1 and K2 and if same force is applied to both they have time period T1 and T2 respectively. What would be the time period if they both are connected in parallel. any relationship between Teffec and T1 and T2.

[@godriksvids9281]

ramanjot singh ramanjot, The T1 and T2 you are calculating are from T= 2*pi*sqrt(m/k). If you substitute keff in for k, then you know that Teff = 2*pi*sqrt (m /(K1 +K2)) for parallel springs.

[@AnuarsTV]

So, you're saying that the spring's constant depends on the length of the spring? Where that came from?

[@erickrobles6365]

why is the force in each spring the same?

[@erickrobles6365]

for series springs

[@aleksandreakhvlediani8034]

Last part is little confusing. What is meant by cutting spring in half ? -> do you mean cutting spring's constant in half or what do you cut in half? Equation F=-kx does not have length anywhere in formula. How did you come up with k'=2k? I don't think that the "length" of spring matter anywhere when modelling springs, unless we talk about rods in tension which act like a spring. There, you may be right as k[rod]=AE/L and if you cut rod in half you increase stiffness twice, as you do by increasing area or young's modulus twice, but in this example this is very misleading and confusing.

[@somethingdifferent7713]

if we cut it in 4 parts so K will be four times original K ? is it righy

[@dhts_bk]

So that’s what happened in a series, will it be same in a parallel? I mean will the overall spring constant be less stiff?

[@dhts_bk]

Oh no I just get it so it will be more

[@lasseviren1]

@@dhts_bk For springs in series the overall spring constant (effective spring constant) will be less than either of the other spring constants. That's because the stretch for the combination must be greater than the stretch for either of them.

[@mutaz9991]

What if the springs are on either side of the mass ? does that mean they are in series as well ?so the first spring moves x in compression and the other one moves the same x in tension.

[@KungFuBarbie-pc7hb]

Are you alive?

[@TheSweedishMoose]

Although I don't think his explanation was the best at this part, he is correct. Consider the first equation he derived for Keff for springs in parallel. If you have two identical springs, you can rearrange this equation to be Keff = k/2, meaning that putting two identical springs in parallel, halves your spring constant. Inversely, cutting a spring into two identical springs will double your spring constant.

[@educationalaccount5963]

TheSwedishMoose he is cutting the spring constant in half not the actual spring

[@forithall2417]

Sir, amazing video! But I have a question, if the difference between K's on springs in series is quite big (I mean if we have a very soft spring and a very hard spring) when you pull with a relatively small force one will be deformed and in that case how is -k1*x1=-k2*x2 ? Maybe my intuition is wrong..

[@lasseviren1]

The very soft spring will have a small k and large x and the hard spring will have a large k and a small x.

sounds more like a job for a hydraulic shock (like those found to hold hatchback trucks in cars), they have a huge "free length" and can be compressed a lot.

[@nazilpm45]

Good sir.. But one doubt.. how the extension of the spring became half of the original extension when it cut into two equal half..

When you only have half of the spring, for the same force, it’s only going to stretch half as much, because there’s only half as much of it to stretch.

How can the X total in parallel not equal to X1+X2?

[@ea-nasir420]

The x_1 and x_2 are equal, supposing that the springs are stretched equally by the force pulling on them. This then gives that the force the springs exert combined is: F_total = k_1*x_1 + k_2*x_2 And when x_1 = x_2 = x (the displacement of the system) we find that F_total = k_1*x + k_2*x = x(k_1 + k_2)

[@naumanrasheed3635]

sir practically it is not possible to have x1=x2=x in case of parallel spring arrangement as if they have different stiffness How will you justify???

[@neilpetroff6758]

As long as the plate, or whatever it is, connecting the two parallel springs does not rotate, both springs have to deflect the same amount. That is, the plate, the end of spring 1, and the end of spring 2 all deflect the same amount. In general, since k_1 is not equal to k_2, different forces will be developed in each spring.
