    A uniform spring of force constant k is cut into two pieces whose lengths are in the ratio of \[1:2\]. What is the force constant of second piece in terms of k?

    A)  \[\frac{k}{2}\]

    B)  \[\frac{2k}{2}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3k}{2}\]

    D)  \[\frac{4k}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the force constant of 2nd piece be k As, \[k\propto \,\,\frac{1}{l}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{k}_{1}}}{{{k}_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}\] or \[\frac{k}{{{k}_{2}}}=\frac{2l/3}{l}\] or \[{{k}_{2}}=\frac{3k}{2}\]
