Spring stiffness:
- Spring stiffness is a characteristic that describes the relationship between load and deflection.
- If k is stiffness, P is load, and x is deflection,
- P = kx
- The smaller the deflection at a constant load, the stiffer the spring, k.
- Simple load-deflection devices or machines that measure deflection as a function of load can be used to determine k for springs and other devices such as beams.

Spring stiffness is the amount of force required to extend a spring by unit length. This can be written like,
F = k x
Here F = force
k =stiffness
x =extension.
•This formula is actually Hooke's law.
•Spring stiffness is inversely proportional to its length.
•Stiffness of spring is useful. Spring stiffness is actually the ability of a spring to resist a force.
•It means the stiffer the spring the larger the force will be to compress or extend the spring.
