Question

What is a spring constant of a spring?​

Answer 1

__________________________________

Answer,

• The proportional constant k is called the spring constant.

• It is a measure of the spring's stiffness. When a spring is stretched or compressed, so that its length changes by an amount x from its equilibrium length, then it exerts a force F = -kx in a direction towards its equilibrium position.
