A spring of force constant $k$ is cut in two parts at its one third length. When both the parts are stretched by same amount, the work done in the two parts, will be

A

equal in both

B

greater for the longer part

C

greater for the shorter part

D

data insufficient

Solution

When a spring is cut into two parts each part has spring constant more than that of original spring. If $\mathrm{k}=$ spring constant $\& \ell_{0}=$ natural length, then for cut parts

If they are stretched by same amount then work done in shorter part will be double than that in the case of longer part.
