Spring constant is just a number we give for how much a spring resists to changes when we apply force to it.

In the last article we learnt the basic concepts of SHM. Now we shall try to visualize the spring mass system. Before that we will see what spring constant is. We know force by a spring is given by,
F = −kx
k is known as the spring constant or stiffness constant.
Unit of spring constant is N/m.
There are different types of spring. For example torsion spring which works due to turning of the spring.
We can also visualize this spring-mass motion with the help of uniform circular motion.
