If a spring of force constant 'K' is cut into three equal parts then the force constant of each part will be

a
K3
b
K
c
3K
d
6K

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Force of spring is F=Kx Force is constant Kx = constant, K is force constant Kl = constant, where l = length of the spring----(1) if length = l3, then new force constant is k',    K'l3=constant  ------(2)   K'l3=Kl ⇒K'=3K
