The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the time period of each part of a spring when it is cut into \( n \) equal parts, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Initial Conditions**: - Let the original length of the spring be \( L \). - The spring constant of the original spring is denoted as \( k \). - The time period of the original spring is given as \( T \). 2. **Relate Time Period to Spring Constant**: - The time period \( T \) of a spring is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \] - Here, \( m \) is the mass attached to the spring. For simplicity, we will consider the mass constant for each part. 3. **Cut the Spring into \( n \) Equal Parts**: - When the spring is cut into \( n \) equal parts, the length of each part becomes: \[ L' = \frac{L}{n} \] 4. **Determine the New Spring Constant**: - The spring constant \( k' \) of each part is related to the original spring constant \( k \) by the formula: \[ k' = n \cdot k \] - This is because the spring constant is inversely proportional to the length of the spring. When the length decreases, the spring constant increases. 5. **Calculate the New Time Period**: - The time period \( T' \) for each part of the spring can be expressed as: \[ T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k'}} \] - Substituting \( k' = n \cdot k \) into the equation gives: \[ T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{n \cdot k}} \] 6. **Relate the New Time Period to the Original Time Period**: - We can express \( T' \) in terms of the original time period \( T \): \[ T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{n}} \] - This shows that the time period of each part of the spring is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of parts \( n \). ### Final Answer: The time period of each part of the spring when it is cut into \( n \) equal parts is: \[ T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{n}} \]
