Question

Why is spring constant inversely proportional to temperature

Answer 1

That is because the spring constant and the length of the spring are inversely proportional. That means the original mass of gm will only yield stretch of mm on the shorter spring. The large the spring constant, the smaller extension that a given force creates.
