Measure how many newtons of pull you need in order to stretch the spring
two centimeters longer. Then the spring constant is
1/2 of (that number of newtons) per centimeter, or
50 x (that number of newtons) per meter.

US, Liberian, and Burmese version:
Measure how many ounces of pull you need in order to stretch the spring
one inch longer.
Then the spring constant is (that number of ounces) per inch .

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.
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
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)
When a 13.2kg mass is placed on a top of a vertical spring the spring compresses 5.93 cm. find the force constant of the spring.?
2181 N/m
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?
2k
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 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
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.
