A spring has length L and force constant K . It is cut into two springs of length L₁ and L₂ such that L ₁= NL ₂ ( N is an integer). The force constant of spring of length L₁ is
Options
- A( N +1) K
- BK N (1+ N )
- CK
- DK N +1
Correct answer
B. K N (1+ N )
Step-by-step solution
Given, L ₁= NL ₂...(i) Spring constant, k 1 ~L k ₂= Nk ₁ Before cutting, the springs are connected in series, so aligned 1 ~K & = 1 k ₁ + 1 k ₂ 1 ~K & = 1 k ₁ + 1 Nk ₁ 1 ~K & = N +1 Nk ₁ k ₁ & = K ~N (1+ N ) aligned
