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

If length of spring is halved spring constant becomes?

Length of the spring is halved then the spring constant becomes?

Is there a difference in the spring force when the spring is compressed instead of stretched?

When a coil spring is compressed the spring compression tends to vary inversely with the length of the spring to the point where the spring cannot be compressed further without damage. In tension, the spring tension varies directly with the length but only so long as the elastic modulus is not reached. At that length, the spring becomes permanently deformed or "sprung". Depending on the representation of the drawing, the vector of the spring in compression will be opposite that of the same spring in tension. That is to say, if you push the spring to the left the force will be negative while a pull to the right will be positive so the spring in compression will push right (positive) and the spring in tension will pull left (negative).


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).


How do you make an improvised spring scale?

Spring Scale Materials and Equipment To do this you will need the following materials and equipment: * Several springs with different lengths, diameters, and stiffness * Weights to hang from springs, here are some tips: ** You can use metal weights, or hang a container from the spring and fill it with glass beads, water, or sand ** The appropriate weight to be used with each spring depends on the stiffness of spring, you'll have to use your best judgment * Sturdy support from which to hang the springs, for example: ** Wood ** Sturdy cup hook ** Clamp ** Screw the cup hook into one end of the piece of wood ** Clamp the other end of the wood to a table or workbench ** Hang the spring from the cup hook ** The clamp and wood will both need to be strong enough to support the weights you intend to hang from your springs * Kitchen scale for measuring actual mass of weights used * Metric ruler Procedure # Do your background research so that you are knowledgeable about the terms, concepts, and questions, above. # For each spring, do the following steps: ## Hang the spring from a sturdily-mounted hook. ## Measure the length of the spring with no weight hanging from it. Always measure between the same two points on the spring (you may even want to mark them). ## Hang a weight from the spring, and wait for it to settle. ## Again measure the length of the spring. ## Measure the mass of the weight, using the kitchen scale. ## Repeat for a series of different weights. ## Remove the weight from the spring, and check to make sure that the spring returns to its initial length. ## Do at least three trials for each spring. # Keep track of your results in a table like this one: Weight(g) Length of spring(cm) Average(cm) Change in length(cm) Trial #1 Trial #2 Trial #3 0 - 5 10 20 40 0 - # To calculate the change in length, subtract the average length of the spring with no weight (0 g) from the averaged measured length for each of the other weights. # For each spring, make a graph of the change in length of the spring (in cm, y-axis) vs. the mass of the weight hanging from the spring (in g, x-axis). # More advanced students should graph the change in length of the spring (in cm, y-axis) vs. the force on the spring (in newtons, x-axis). The force on the spring in newtons can be obtained by multiplying the mass (in kg) by the acceleration due to gravity: 9.8 m/s2. Remember that to convert g to kg, you have to divide by 1000.

Nothing; it remains the same as before.


How Stiffness of spring measure?

it the ratio of load applied on the displacement of spring.. stiffness=load/change in length.


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.

If the length of a spring is halved the spring constant?

Suppose you grab the middle of the spring and hold it perfectly still. Now un-stretch the left half of the spring (the part to the left of where you grabbed it). Nothing about the right half of the spring has changed, so the force applied to the right half of the spring must ( F2 ) be the same F1 we found earlier. visit our page : cndhearingsolution.co.nz/prebooking


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
