A spring of force constant is cut into lengths of ratio . They are connected in series and the new force constant is . Then they are connected in parallel and force constant is . Then is:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Spring constant is inversely proportional to length ().Let original length be . Cutting in gives lengths .Individual constants: , , .Series connection: is the original constant (since series connection of segments of a spring is the original spring). .Parallel connection: .Ratio .
