Is the spring constant is constant on the moon?
no the spring constant is not constant on moon because there is no restoring force there
What is the spring constant of a spring?
The ratio of force applied to how much the spring streches (or compresses). In the SI, the spring constant would be expressed in Newtons/meter. A larger spring constant means the spring is "stiffer" - more force is required to stretch it a certain amount.
What is the length of the spring when a weightof 10n hangs from it?
depends on the initial length of the spring, and how much force is required to stretch the spring
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.
How is a spring used to measured a force?
Spring was used to measure a force by the balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity with the force of an extended spring.
How does diameter of spring coil affect the force constant?
Keeping the rest characteristics of a coil the same, increasing coil diameter the spring constant decreases.
Is the spring constant is constant on the moon?
no the spring constant is not constant on moon because there is no restoring force there
A 1.2 kg of cheese is placed on a vertical spring of negligible mass and a force constant of 1800 N over m What is the length of compression of the spring?
Length of compression of the spring = (1.2*9.8)/1800
What goes back to its original shape after being streched and is used in force meters?
That would be a spring, which is stretched when you apply force to it. The spring used have a specific force constant, which means that an extension of the spring to a certain length is equal to a fixed amount of force.
Define spring constant What is its unit?
The rate or spring constant of a spring is the change in the force it exerts, divided by An extension or compression spring has units of force divided by distance, law which states that the force a spring exerts is proportional to its extension.
What is the spring constant of a spring?
The ratio of force applied to how much the spring streches (or compresses). In the SI, the spring constant would be expressed in Newtons/meter. A larger spring constant means the spring is "stiffer" - more force is required to stretch it a certain amount.
Length of spring 6mm what is the extension spring?
multiply the force with length.
What happens when a stretching or force is applied to the ends of a spring?
The larger the force pulling on a spring, the greater the length in the spring and the more energy that is stored in that spring. When looking at a spring there is a gradient that determines how much force much be used to sqeeze or stretch a spring a given amount. When a spring is stretched, the greater the force that is applied, the greater the change in length of the spring and the greater the amount of energy that is stored in the spring. A link is supplied to the Wikipedia article on the spring (device).
How do you calculate the natural length of a spring with hooke's law?
Hooke's law is not related to any "natural length". Rather, it defines a string constant: how much the string extends or compresses, depending on the applied force. In SI units, the spring constant would be measured in newton/meter.
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
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
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
