To get the knowledge of weak interactions acting in the K-meson decay processes having the muons in their decay products, the authors have investigated the polarization of the emitted muons in these processes, taking the viewpoint that the weak Fermi interaction is participating for the decay processes and the neutrino associated is of two components. For the determination of the type of weak interaction in K mu 3/ meson it is useful to analyze the longitudinal polarization of muons. Although the main interest is in the type determination of weak interactions, the spin of the K meson is also examined, and the analysis shows that the polarization of muons is in general not complete for spin 1 K/sub mu 2/ mesons in contrast with spin 0 K /sub mu 2/ mesons.
