1.	A spring is cut into two halves. What happens to its period of oscillation of a mass suspended from it, before cutting and after cutting ?
Answer» Solution :Before cutting LET the period be `T_1`and after cutting `T_2`When it is cut into two EQUAL parts the force constant of each PART becomes 2K and hence new period `T_2 = 1/sqrt2T_1`
