Hooke's Law (Spring Force) Calculator
Use this calculator to compute the force exerted by a spring based on its stiffness (spring constant) and the displacement from its equilibrium position.
What this calculator is doing
Hooke's Law describes the linear relationship between the force applied to a spring and the displacement it causes. The force required to compress or stretch a spring is given by:
\[ F = -k \cdot x \]
Where:
\( F \) = Spring force (Newtons, N) - negative sign indicates direction (restoring force)
\( k \) = Spring constant (Newtons per meter, N/m)
\( x \) = Displacement from equilibrium (meters, m)
This calculator assumes linear elastic behavior and returns the magnitude of the spring force.
