Answer:
The larger constant goes to the spring with the largest F/x ratio, this is by measuring a larger Force or by displacing less from the equilibrium position
Explanation:
Using Hooke's Law we have that for each spring the following relations is fulfilled:
[tex]F=-kx[/tex]
Where F is the restoring force (opposite to displacement ergo the negative sign), k is the constant and x is the displacement.
All we need to do is to compare the following:
[tex]k=\frac{F}{x}[/tex]
The larger constant goes to the spring with the largest F/x ratio, this is by measuring a larger Force or by displacing less from the equilibrium position
If you have numerical data we can run the calculations
