Answer;
Spring constant
Explanation;
The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the spring constant.
- The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
- Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
- Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.
Answer: Spring constant
Explanation:
The stiffness of the spring is determined by its spring constant. It measured in Newtons per meter (N/m).
The spring resists change in its length- either being extended or compressed. It always tends to come back to its original position.
Hooke's law states that force F required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional to its displacement x.
F ∝ x
F = k x
where, k is the spring constant.
