Each coil does not ' see' the 100 lbs... but only ( in the 10 coil example ) one tenth of the 100 lb load...

Consider a series of sewer pipes, placed end to end, with sewage flowing through it at a constant rate, higher at one end than the other. The decrease in sewage height (head loss) due to friction is cumulative from one end to the other- (Ref. First Law of Civil Engineering). The head loss is distributed evenly between sections, but the full amount of sewage goes through each pipe. The principal is the same- loss is distributed through serial elements, load is distributed through parallel elements.
