A spring has spring constant $k$ and $l$. If it cut into piece spring in the proportional to $\alpha  : \beta  : \gamma $ then obtain the spring constant of every piece in term of spring constant of original spring (Here, $\alpha $, $\beta $ and $\gamma $ are integers)

Suppose length of $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ are $l_{1}, l_{2}$ and $l_{3}$ respectively and total length $l=\alpha+\beta+\gamma$

$=l_{1}, l_{2}, l_{3}$

$\therefore l_{1}=$ spring constant of $\alpha$ length

${l}k_{1}=\frac{k l}{l_{1}}=\frac{k(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)}{\alpha}$ $l_{2}=\text { spring constant of } \beta \text { length }$ $k_{2}=\frac{k l}{l_{2}}=\frac{k(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)}{\beta}$ $\text { and } l_{3}=\text { spring constant of } \gamma \text { length }$ $k_{3}$=$\frac{k l}{l_{3}}=\frac{k(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)}{\gamma}$

A body of mass $m$ is attached to one end of a massless spring which is suspended vertically from a fixed point. The mass is held in hand, so that the spring is neither stretched nor compressed. Suddenly the support of the hand is removed. The lowest position attained by the mass during oscillation is $4\,cm$ below the point, where it was held in hand.
