Imagine we have a spring that is hanging from the roof with $k = 200$ and a stone with $ W=10N $ is pulling it down. Then due to $$ F=kx $$ we have $x=.05m=5cm$
Now we halve the length of the spring. Again a stone with the same weight as the last stone, is pulling it down. In this case, what is $x$ ? Does it change by halving the length of the spring?
