A spring is cut into 4 equal parts & 2 parts are connected in parallel. What is the effective in parallel. What is the effective spring constant.

A

4 K

B

16K

C

8K

D

6K

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When we cut it into 4 equal parts spring constant of each part will be 4k. When 2 are connected iin parallel. The effective spring constant is 4K + 4k = 8K.
