This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Equivalent Spring Stiffness Connected in Series - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Equivalent Spring Stiffness Connected in Series is the combined stiffness of multiple springs connected in series in a mechanical system.
Stiffness of 1st Spring - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Stiffness of 1st Spring is the measure of resistance to deformation of the first spring in a series or parallel connection of springs.
Stiffness of 2nd Spring - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Stiffness of 2nd Spring is the measure of resistance to deformation of the second spring in a system of springs connected in series or parallel.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Stiffness of 1st Spring: 15 Newton per Millimeter --> 15000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)
Stiffness of 2nd Spring: 12 Newton per Millimeter --> 12000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_{eq S} = K₁*K₂/(K₁+K₂) --> 15000*12000/(15000+12000)

Evaluating ... ...

K_{eq S} = 6666.66666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6666.66666666667 Newton per Meter -->6.66666666666667 Newton per Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

6.66666666666667 ≈ 6.666667 Newton per Millimeter <-- Equivalent Spring Stiffness Connected in Series
