$k \propto \frac{1}{\ell}$

$\frac{ k _{ A }}{ k } =\frac{1}{ l _{ A }}$

$k _{ A } =\frac{ l _{ A }+ l _{ B }}{ l _{ A }} \cdot k$

$k _{ A }=\frac{\frac{ l _{ A }}{ l _{ B }}+1}{\frac{ l _{ A }}{ l _{ B }}} \cdot k$

$k _{ A }=\frac{\frac{2}{3}+1}{\frac{2}{3}} \cdot k$

$k _{ A }=\frac{5}{2} \cdot k$
