If a spring has time period T, and is cut into n equal parts
If a spring has time period T, and is cut into n equal parts, then the time period of each part will be
- T
- T√n
- nT
- T/√n
Answer
We know that time period of a spring is inversely proportional to the square root of spring constant.
If the spring is cut into n parts, then the new spring constant is given by
K' = nK
Therefore, time period of new spring is, T = T/√n
The correct option is D.
