You do it by using what you are given. Unfortunately, you haven't mentioned

what that is, so we can't be any more specific.

How do you find spring constant in mousetrap car?

Measure the force (f) required to compress the spring a given amount (x) then use hooke's law to compute the spring constant (k) (f=kx)


What is the formula to find the spring constant?

F = - k x In this equation, x is the distance that the spring has been stretched or compressed away from its equilibrium position F is the restoring force exerted by the spring. k is the spring constant.


What does the spring constant k mean?

The spring constant is a measure of stiffness - the ability to resist displacement under a load. It is denoted by K where F = kx where f = load force and x = displacement


If a spring with spring constant k is cut into two equal parts what will be the spring constant of each part?

2k


How do you find out how long a spring has stretched?

You can find out how long a spring has been stretched/compressed by knowing it's elastic constant and the force the spring is exerting trying to go back to it's original shape. F=K*x (Moore's law) F is the force exerted by the spring. K is the elastic constant. X is the displacement of the end of the spring from it's normal position. You want to find x, x = F/K


Want is the aim of hookes law?

Hooke's law was designed to determine the restoring force of a spring, given its spring constant and the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position. The law is written as follows: F = -kx; in which "F" is the restoring force, "k" is the spring constant, and "x" is the spring's displacement.


Why does a large spring constant indicate a stiff spring?

It takes a larger force to compress or pull a spring the same distance as a spring with a smaller spring constant. This is shown in Hooke's law. x=F/k k---is the spring constant F---is the force applied to the spring x is the distance the spring has been compressed


If a 30kg weight is hanging on a spring and it stretches 0.5m what is the spring constant of the spring?

Hooks law: F=-x*K F=Force x=distance = 0.5m K=constant F=mass*9.81 = 30*9.81=aaaa [N] aaa = -0.5 * K => K = something


Does the spring constant depend on applied force or elongation?

the relation between force (F) and elongation (x) is F = kx where k is the spring constant. The stiffer the spring, the higher the force needed to get a certain elongation; or, for a given force, the elongation will be less for a stiffer spring


What is the relation between the spring constant and the frequency?

angular frequency = square root (K/m) wher k is spring constant and m = mass linear frequency = 1/2pi times square root (K/m)


What is si unit of spring constant k?

It is Newtons per metre.


In Hooke law what does the x represent?

x represents displacement or deflection or distance. Hooke law states that force = k times x; the higher the displacement, x, for a given spring constant (k).
