A spring of spring constant K is cut...

A spring of spring constant K is cut into two identical pieces . Then spring constant of each piece will be

A

`K`

B

`2K`

C

`(k)/(2)`

D

`K^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a spring is cut into two pieces force has to be aplied to increase the length of each piece by the same amount . So spring constant of each piece will be 2k .
