A board rests on two springs, keeping the springs at equilibrium. Each spring has a spring constant of 10,000 N/m. How far will each spring compress when a 50kg person sits on the board?
Any idea how to do this?

depends on where on the board the person sits
if they sit at the center, then the springs compress equally
... the person's weight is 50 g ... 490 N
... so, 245 N on each spring
245 N / (10k N/m) = ? m
