Answer:
two simple approaches you can use to calculate the spring constant, using either Hooke’s law, alongside some data about the strength of the restoring (or applied) force and the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position, or using the elastic potential energy equation alongside figures for the work done in extending the spring and the displacement of the spring.
Hooke’s law is the simplest approach to finding the value of the spring constant, and you can even obtain the data yourself through a simple setup where you hang a known mass (with the force of its weight given by F = mg) from a spring and record the extension of the spring. Ignoring the minus sign in Hooke’s law (since the direction doesn’t matter for calculating the value of the spring constant) and dividing by the displacement, x, gives:
k=F/x
Answer:
potential energy stored in spring compressed by x is
1/2 kx^2
