    Keq1=k+k=2k (both are parallel)
    Keq2=k+2k=3k (keq1 and k are parallel)
    [1/Keq3]=(1/Keq2)+(1/K)
    =(1/3k)+(1/k)=4/3k

    Keq3=3k/4=(3*3000)/4
    =2250 NM

    The complete solution is here- First 3 springs in Parallel so Its equivalent ,Ke =3K
    And we have below 1 string which is series with this equivalent stiffness(i.e Ke=3K) So , The equivalent of this gives , 1/Kef = 1/K + 1/3K = 4/3K (Kef= final equivalent )
    Kef= 3K/4=3(3000)/4= 2250 N/m

    for parallel case keq=k1+k2 for series 1/ke=1/k1+1/k2
