Does the force constant of a spring changes if it is cut into parts?
Yes.
no.
it only depends upon the nature of the material.
force constant does not change
we know F=-Kx
so force is proportional to length but k(spring constant) depends upon nature of spring
since the spring remains the same k will remain same for both the parts.
force constant does not changes
Yes. The force constant is inversely proportional to length.
No, it will not change.
We know that F=k.x , therefore k=F/x ..... now if we cut the spring into 2 parts .... F will increase as x is halfed ....
the force constant of a spring of does not change.Because,it has a "inherent property" along with it.Due this the force constant doesn''t change.
Not at all
Dear Anubhab,force constant of a spring do change when you cut it into parts. Spring constant of a spring (k) depends upon three factors
- length of spring
- radius of spring
- material of spring
it is inversely proportional to the length of spring so if you cut the spring into parts the spring constant will increase.Hope this helps
i am sorry.the ans is that yes it DOES CHANGES.
take an example.
when two springs of spring constant k are connected end to end then resultant
spring constant is k/2.
HENCE,it can be thought as one single spring with spring constant k/2.
and when it is cut to two parts the individual spring constant is k.
the same way when a spring of spring constant k is cut into n parts,the new spring constants are nk of the individual springs.
and when the same force is applied to the springs.then x=F/nk(less than original extensin=F/k by a factor of 1/n).
this explains that smaller springs extend less than the original springs,when applied by the same force.
HOPE I HELPED YOU.
when spring is cut into two parts, then the force constant (k previusly) becomes 2k for each half
approve this anwer, if it helps
