A uniform spring of force constant k is cut into two pieces, the lengths of which are in the ratio 1 : 2. The ratio of the force constants of the shorter and the longer pieces is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Force constant $(k) \propto \frac{1}{\text{Length of the string (l)}}$
⇒ ⇒ $\frac{k_1}{k_2} = \frac{l_2}{l_1} = \frac{2}{1}$
