Hooke Law - Force Needed

In short Hooke's law can be explained as " F = kx" and to explain it further Hooke’s law states that force need to compress or extend a spring is directly proportional to the distance covered and constant factor i.e. stiffness is considered during this calculation.

Hooke Law

To calculate Hooke Law:

  • What you want to calculate

  • Spring Force Constant(k)

    N/m

  • Distance from Equilibrium(x)

    m

  • Spring Equilibrium Position(x0)

    m

  • Force(Fx)

    N

  •  

Formula:
Force:
hookes

Spring Force Constant:
hookes

Distance from Equilibrium:
hookes

Spring Equilibrium Position:
hookes

where,
Fx = Force,
k = Spring Force Constant,
x =Distance from Equilibrium,
x0 = Spring Equilibrium Position.
