Ten identical steel wires have equal lengths L and equal "spring constants" k. The Young's modulus of each wire is Y. The wires are connected end to end, so that the resultant wire has length 10L. What is the Young's modulus of the resulting wire?

Why does the equilibrium position of the spring change when a mass is added to the spring? will the mass oscillate around the new equilibrium position of the spring or the previous position without a mass attached to the spring? if the equilibrium position of the spring changes by 20 cm (assuming no initial mass) when a mass is added to the spring with constant 4.9 kg/s^2, what is the mass of the object attached to the spring?
