Just divide the force by the amount of stretch.

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.
What is spring constant of an elastic material?
Spring constant of an elastic material is the force applied per unit extension.
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
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).
What is the force applied by a spring as it stretches upward 0.25 meters and has a k value of 25 newtons per meter?
6.3

What is spring constant of an elastic material?
Spring constant of an elastic material is the force applied per unit extension.
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 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.
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
Why when both side of the spring is stretched with equal amount of force the extension only depends on one of the force applied at one end?
Because the tension applied to the spring is distributed evenly along its whole length.
What is the extension of a stretched spring?
The amount the spring is stretched is called the displacement.
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
What is the spring constant?
it is a value unique for every spring and depends on the materials. it doesn't change if the characteristics of your spring don't. if we have a spring with k spring constant and cut it in 2, the resulting springs still have k spring constant. the spring force depends on the spring constant. this formula F=k*x gives the force applied to a body by a spring, when it hase been pulled by x from it's natural state.
Is there a maximum spring constant or a limit where an object cannot be stretched or compressed?
Certainly there is a limit, considering that the object is not deformed by the power employed to compress or stretch.
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.
