Spread the loveThe spring constant, commonly denoted by the symbol (k), is a fundamental property that describes the behavior of a spring under an applied force. It is a measure of the stiffness of a ...

The spring constant, denoted by ‘k’, is a measure of how much force is needed to compress or extend a spring by a given length. This constant has important implications on how resistant or ‘stiff’ a ...

The spring constant for a torsion spring is calculated differently and it is critical that this is done correctly. As with compression and extension springs, most manufacturers will supply the spring ...

Compression spring weight For cost and manufacturing purposes, it is useful to calculate the weight of springs to determine raw material use and shipping requirements. For manufacturing purposes, it ...

In designing compression springs the space allotted governs the dimensional limits of a spring with regard to allowable solid height and outside and inside diameters. These dimensional limits, ...

A force of 3 N is applied to a spring. The spring is not stretched beyond the limit of proportionality and it stretches by 15 cm. Calculate the spring constant.

Question A spring is compressed by 0.15 m. It has a spring constant of 80 N/m. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored by the spring.
