∙ 9y agoThe best way to measure stiffness is to try and bend something. If it breaks very easily with little movement then it is almost 100 percent stiff.

What is stiffness factor?
the stiffness of a vehicle structure in a crash
How do you measure spring rate of very small spiral spring or microspring?
You need a spring scale machine, as commonly found in the aircraft industry.
Why spring balance not used to weigh gold?
In my opinion, Least count of Spring Balance is very less to measure valuable metal like Gold.
How do you check stiffness of concrete beam?

A measure of a solid's resistance to scratching is?
i dont know but it has 10 letters :) im doing a crossword for science and they asked that question but I cant figure it out this is halohayd the answer is hardness
If the length of a spring is halved the stiffness becomes?
If spring is cut into two parts, each spring will have it's stiffness doubled. For n parts, stiffness of each part will be nk
What is the formula for spring stiffness?
The constant spring stiffness formula is the force applied to the spring equal to the stiffness times the distance it moved. F=kx. Depending on where your axis are, it could be negative.
What is the Effect of spring stiffness on natural frequency?
the spring stiffness effect the natural frequency of the beam. the increasing value of spring stiffness lead to the increase value of natural frequency of the beam also.
What is Stiffness of a helical spring?
a helical spring has N turns of coil of diameter D, and a second spring made of same material and of same wire diameter has N/2 turns of coil of diameter 2D. if stiffness of first spring is k, then stiffness of second spring is
What is spring-stiffness?
Spring stiffness is a property that relates load to deflection. Let k = stiffness and P = load and x = deflection, then P = kx The stiffer the spring, k, the smaller the deflection under a constant load. k can be measured for springs and otherdevices, such as beams, with simple load deflection devices or machines that measure deflection as function of laod
What is a measure of stiffness or strength of a spring?
The strength of a spring is a force and therefore is measured in units such as newtons or pounds. Many cylindrical springs, for example, produce various forces at different lengths making it necessary to indicate the lengths at which the forces have been measured.
What happens when you commpress a spring for a long time?
It may relax, or creep, meaning its stiffness is less
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
What unit does spring scale measure?
Spring scales can measure grams, newtons, or pounds.
What is the definition of the word compliance from a physics point of view?
Compliance is generally regarded as the inverse of the elastic spring constant which is usually denoted as "k" in most standardized text. The word compliance is a good fit since the larger the k value or "stiffness" of a particular spring is, the harder it is to displace it when a constant force is applied. In other words the spring is not so compliant when the k value is large. As a result of this reasoning compliance is the inverse of the stiffness of an elastic system (Compliance= 1/Stiffness=k^-1).
Can a spring scale measure a fish?
If the fish does not struggle (it would have to be dead not to) and above water, then you can measure a spring scale.
What is the relationship exists between the force exerted on a spring and the resulting elongation of the spring?
That is called the Spring Constant. It describes the amount of deformation of the spring, either stretch or compression, in units of distance deformed for each unit of force applied.
