Answer:
True
Explanation: In mechanics two or more springs are said to be in series when they are connected end to end or point to point and is said to be in parallel when they are connected side by side; in both cases, so as to act as a single spring.
in series external stress applied to the ensemble gets applied to each spring without change of magnitude and the amount of strain of the ensemble is the sum of strain of the individual springs
Conversely they are said to be in parallel if the strain of the ensemble is their common strain and the stress of the ensemble is the sum of their stresses. Any combination of Hookean spring in series or parallel behaves like a single Hookean spring.
