Q73 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (12 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

A spring whose unstrentches length is l has a force constant k. The spring is cut into two pieces of unstretches lengths l1 and l2 where, l1=nl2 and n is an integer. The ratio k1/k2  of the corresponding force constants, k1 and k2 will be:

  • A
    1n2
  • B
    n2
  • C
    n
  • Correct answer
    D
    1n

Solution

Spring constants of the spring will be inversely proportional to length.
k1k2=l2l1=1n

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
