A spring of unstretched length \(l\) has a force constant \(k.\) The spring is cut into two parts of unstretched lengths \(l_1\)​ and \(l_2,\) where \(l_1=nl_2\)​ and \(n\) is an integer. If the force constants of the two parts are \(k_1\)​ and \(k_2,\) what is the ratio \(\dfrac{k_1}{k_2} \text{?}\)
1. \(\dfrac{1}{n^2}\)
2. \(\dfrac{1}{n}\)
3. \(n^2\)
4. \(n\)

If two identical springs, each with a spring constant \(k,\) are connected in series, the new spring constant and time period will change by a factor of:

1. \( \dfrac{1}{2},~ \sqrt{2} \) 2. \( \dfrac{1}{4},~ \sqrt{2} \)
3. \( \dfrac{1}{4},~ 2 \sqrt{2} \) 4. \( \dfrac{1}{2},~ 2 \sqrt{2} \)
