1.	A spring of force constant 'k' is cut into two pieces such that one piece is double the length of the other. Then the long piece will have a force constant of ……………
Answer» `(2)/(3) k` `(3)/(2)k` 3k 6 k Solution :Ratio in which spring is cut = 1:2 Length of LARGER piece `=(2L)/3` FORCE constant `prop =1/("length of the spring")` `K/K. = (((2L)/3))/L = 2/3 , K. =3/2 K`
