Two massless springs of spring constant $K_1$ and $K_2$ are connected in series,suspended vertically,and a certain mass is attached to the free end. If $e_1$ and $e_2$ are their respective extensions and $f$ is the stretching force,the total extension produced is:

  • A
    $f(K_1 - K_2)$
  • B
    $f(\frac{1}{K_1} - \frac{1}{K_2})$
  • C
    $f(K_1 + K_2)$
  • D
    $f(\frac{1}{K_1} + \frac{1}{K_2})$
