A light spring of constant K is cut into two equal parts. The spring constant of each part is ______?

A light spring of constant K is cut into two equal parts. The spring constant of each part is ______?

Explanation
  • The spring constant KK is inversely proportional to the length of the spring.
  • When a spring is cut into two equal parts, each half will have double the original spring constant, i.e., 2K2K.
