A spring having a spring constant k is divded into three parts. Calculate the force constant for each part.

Explanation

To solve the problem of finding the force constant for each part of a spring that has been divided into three equal parts, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Spring Constant**:
- The spring constant (k) is a measure of the stiffness of the spring. It relates the force exerted by the spring to the extension (or compression) of the spring according to Hooke's Law:
\[ F = k \cdot x \]
where \( F \) is the force applied, \( k \) is the spring constant, and \( x \) is the extension.
