Problem

A block of mass mm is connected to two springs as shown in the diagram: Spring 1 is between the left wall and the block, and Spring 2 is between the block and the right wall. The graph shows the net Restoring Force FF versus displacement xx for this system. If the slope of the line is −100 N/m-100\,\text{N/m} and the springs are identical (k1=k2k_{1} = k_{2}), determine the value of a single spring constant.
