$A$ spring of length $l$ has a force constant $k$. When a weight $W$ is attached to it,the extension produced is $x$. If the spring is cut into two equal parts and these parts are connected in parallel to support the same weight $W$,what will be the new extension?

  • A
    $2x$
  • B
    $x$
  • C
    $x/2$
  • D
    $x/4$
