Question

NUMERICALS
If a spring is cut into two equal parts then what is the spring constant of each part with respect to original spelling ?
Take k is spring constant .

Answer 1

Explanation:

This force is applied to a spring of length L and it causes the spring to extend by X distance. Using this we get, K the spring constant. Where K= F/X. If the spring is cut into half and the same force F is applied to the half spring, the distance it should stretch is X/2, half of the original deformation.

Answer 2

If the force constant of original spring is k then the force of spring constant of each part with respect to only original one would be 2K.

Since

Extension directly proportional to the length of spring.

for full spring extension y,k = F/Y

For Half spring under same force extension is y/2,then k'= F/(y/2) = 2F/y = 2k
