1.	A spring is cut into 4 equal parts & 2 parts are connected in parallel. What is the effective in parallel. What is the effective spring constant.
Answer» 4 K 16K 8K 6K Solution :When we CUT it into 4 equal PARTS SPRING constant of each part will be 4k. When 2 are CONNECTED iin parallel. The effective spring constant is 4K + 4k = 8K.
