    Spring with constant k cut in two

    ok...i think i come up with a conclusion...but I'm not sure of how I did it exactly...was reading up on Young's modulus and "found" out that k is inversely affected by length...So if you cut the spring in 2, the k constant will change from k to k(initial length/final length) for one spring. I'm...

    Spring with constant k cut in two

    Been thinking for a long time and can't come up with a conclusion! If you have a spring with a constant k value and you cut the spring in two(not exactly in half), does the k value change in the springs or stay the same? I'm thinking that the K value does not change because the length of...
