Does cutting a spring change the spring rate?

Cutting coils does increase the spring rate. The only thing that will change will be the length of the wire used to wind the spring. The longer the wire is the lower the spring rate. As the wire get shorter, such as when cutting the coil, the spring rate increases.

What happens to a string when cut in half?

If you were to have an infinitely long string, cutting it in half will give you two proportional sizes of string, each half the size of the original.

How bad is cut springs?

Cutting springs can work only if done correctly. The major problem is when an unknowledgeable person takes a few inches off the springs and ends up breaking the shocks from bottoming out. That results in the ghetto bouncy ride since all they have are the springs w/o any dampening.

When a spring of spring constant k is cut into two equal parts then spring constant of individual part becomes K What is the relation between K and K?

If the spring is cut into half and the same force F is applied to the half spring, the distance it should stretch is X/2, half of the original deformation. From this the new spring constant, K2 becomes K2= F/(X/2) or 2* (F/X) which is double of K.

When a spring is cut into two parts then for every individual part the stiffness becomes?

Hence, when a spring cut into two parts then for every individual part the stiffness becomes double.

How can you increase the pitch of the sound produced by a vibrating string?

Answer: Length of the string is directly correlated with the frequency of a sound wave. i.e. a short string vibrates faster and produces a higher pitch while a longer string produces a lower pitch. Thus, cutting the string into half will increase the pitch of sound.

What changes the spring constant?

The more compliant (or softer) the spring is the more it moves for the same amount of force. The spring constant is simply the inverse of the compliance and sometimes also called stiffness. The stiffer the spring, the less it moves or, conversely, the more force is required to get the same displacement.

What happens to the spring constant when cut in half?

When the spring is cut into two equal halves, the spring constant doubles. We know that force is directly proportional to the length. Mathematically, this is represented as: F = kl where k is the spring constant.

Is it possible to pull half a spring?

Yes, that’s right. The key thing is that the spring constant of half a spring is twice the spring constant of the full spring. (This should make a bit of sense. You’d expect it to be harder to pull a shorter spring to the same extension.) And since the period depends on the spring constant, it will change accordingly.

What is the force at the end of a spring?

Basically the concept is that the spring at the end will have same amount of force (let it be F ) no matter how many pieces you breaks it.

What is the spring constant of a broken spring?

Spring constant of a spring is inversely proportional to it’s length. Hence, by basic mathematics, the new spring constant will be twice the old one. Basically the concept is that the spring at the end will have same amount of force (let it be F ) no matter how many pieces you breaks it.
