a spring of force constant k is cut into lenghts of ratio 1:2:3 then we get three springs of length l/6, 2l/6, 3l/6 how did we get this?
Hello,
Assume the length of the spring to be 'l'
Now the ratios of lengths in which the spring is cut is 1:2:3
That means the length of the three new springs will be x, 2x and 3x where x is equal to some constant.
Therefore, 1x + 2x + 3x = l
= 6x = l
= x = l/6
Now length of new springs will be l/6, 2l/6 and 3l/6
(Substituting the value of x = l/6)
Hope it is clear now.
it really helped me😇
how do u clear all ur physics concepts?
