What is the effective spring constant of two springs in series?

For two springs in series the effective spring constant is k_eff = k1 times k2 divided by k1 plus k2. This is always less than either individual spring constant because the combination is softer.

What is the effective spring constant of two springs in parallel?

For two springs in parallel the effective spring constant is k_eff = k1 plus k2. This is always greater than either spring alone because both springs share the load.
