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.
How does length of spring coil affect the force constant?
The force constant is unaffected; It is a constant.
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 is the physical meaning of a spring constant?
It means how "stiff" the spring is; how hard it is to compress or extend it.
What is si unit of spring constant k?
It is Newtons per metre.
Will the time period of loaded spring change when taken to moon?
No.Time period of a loaded spring depends on mass and spring constant which are same on Earth aswell as moon.
What is the characteristics of springs with large spring constant in hooke's law?
larger the spring constant of a spring, the more stiffer it is.
If a spring with spring constant k is cut into two equal parts what will be the spring constant of each part?

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
Is spring constant same when contracting?
It depends on the type of spring, but for general purposes the spring constant of materials, as long as it is linear, is the same in extension and contracting.
What is spring constant of an elastic material?
Spring constant of an elastic material is the force applied per unit extension.
What is the spring constant for a victor mousetrap?
Victor has changed their mousetraps and made their traps the same so they now have the same spring constant. The spring constant of all victor mousetraps are 3.52 N/m.
If the length of a spring is halved the spring constant becomes?

If length of spring is halved spring constant becomes?
2
Length of the spring is halved then the spring constant becomes?
Double
A mass of 1.7kg caused a vertical spring to scretch 6m what's the spring constant?
A mass of 1.7kg caused a vertical spring to stretch 6m so the spring constant is 2.78.
