A uniform spring of force constant $k$ is cut into two pieces, the lengths of which are in the ratio $1 : 2$. The ratio of the force constants of the shorter and the longer pieces is

A

$1:3$

B

$1:2$

C

$2:3$

D

$2:1$

Solution

(d) Force constant $(k)\, \propto \frac{1}{{{\rm{Length\, of\, the \,string \,(}}l{\rm{)}}}}$
==> $\frac{{{k_1}}}{{{k_2}}} = \frac{{{l_2}}}{{{l_1}}} = \frac{2}{1}$
