What is spring force?

1.	What is spring force?
Answer» Spring force is the restoring force arising because of compression or extension of spring. Spring force, F ∝ (-x) F = −kx Where x is the change in length F = −kx Where k is a constant called spring constant or force constant. The negative sign indicates that the spring force is opposite to the direction of displacement of the spring from its normal position.

Answer»

Spring force is the restoring force arising because of compression or extension of spring.

Spring force, F ∝ (-x)

F = −kx

Where x is the change in length

F = −kx

Where k is a constant called spring constant or force constant.

The negative sign indicates that the spring force is opposite to the direction of displacement of the spring from its normal position.
