    A spring of force constant k is cut into lengths of ratio 1 : 2 : 3. They are connected in series and the new force constant is k’. Then they are connected in parallel and force constant is k”. Then \[k:k\] is     [NEET-2017]

    A) 1 : 14

    B) 1 : 6

    C) 1 : 9

    D) 1 : 11

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Spring constant \[\propto \frac{1}{\text{length}}\]
                            \[k\propto \frac{1}{l}\]
                i.e.,       \[{{k}_{1}}=6k\]
                            \[{{k}_{2}}=3k\]
                            \[{{k}_{3}}=2k\]
                In series
                            \[\frac{1}{k'}=\frac{1}{6k}+\frac{1}{3k}+\frac{1}{2k}\]
                            \[\frac{1}{k'}=\frac{6}{6k}\]
                            \[k'=k\]
                            \[k''=6k+3k+2k\]
                            \[k''=11k\]
                            \[\frac{k'}{k''}=\frac{1}{11}\] i.e., \[k':k''=1:11\]
