Understanding Spring Constants and Hooke's Law

What is Hooke's Law?

Hooke's Law states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) is proportional to that distance. The spring constant (k) is the proportionality constant in this relationship.

Key Components

  • Spring Force (F): The force exerted by the spring, measured in Newtons (N)
  • Spring Constant (k): A measure of the spring's stiffness, typically in N/m
  • Displacement (x): The distance the spring is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position
