If a spring of stiffness $k$ is cut into two parts $A$ and $B$ of length $l_{A}: l_{B}=2: 3$, then the stiffness of spring $A$ is given by

A

$\frac{5}{2} k$

B

$\frac{3}{5} k$

C

$\frac{2}{5} k$

D

$k$

(AIEEE-2011)

Solution

$k \propto \frac{1}{\ell}$

$\frac{ k _{ A }}{ k } =\frac{1}{ l _{ A }}$

$k _{ A } =\frac{ l _{ A }+ l _{ B }}{ l _{ A }} \cdot k$

$k _{ A }=\frac{\frac{ l _{ A }}{ l _{ B }}+1}{\frac{ l _{ A }}{ l _{ B }}} \cdot k$

$k _{ A }=\frac{\frac{2}{3}+1}{\frac{2}{3}} \cdot k$

$k _{ A }=\frac{5}{2} \cdot k$
