Question 81:
easy
A spring of length \(L\) and spring constant \(K\) is cut into two parts of length \(\frac{L}{3}\) and \(\frac{2L}{3}\), then the spring constant of each part will be
The spring constant is inversely proportional to the length of the spring: \(k \propto 1/l\). For lengths \(L_1 = L/3\) and \(L_2 = 2L/3\), the spring constants are \(k_1 = 3K\) and \(k_2 = 1.5K = 3K/2\).
