using hooke's law to find the work required to stretch a spring - A spring was at its resting position where it is attached to a wall at its left side and a block at its right side as shown below. The spring constant is k = 0.53N/m. The block is moved leftwards and the spring's right end is displaced from the position of 0.493m to 0.270m where it is held in place. All positions are measured from the origin Q of the wall. What is the spring force exerted on the block? Assume rightwards as the positive direction.

How to Calculate a Spring Constant Using Hooke's Law - dummies

Hooke's law gives the force a spring exerts on an object attached to it with the ... is in the opposite direction of the force that's stretching or compressing the spring. ... the equation are: F which represents force, k which is called the spring constant and ... and you have four shock absorbers, each 0.5 meters long, to work with.

Hooke's law

The force of the spring is directly proportional to its extension.

F_s = - kx

Where, k - spring constant and x - displacement of the spring

Step 1: Note down the provided information

Spring constant k = 0.53 N/m

Initial spring length d_1 = 0.270 m

Final spring length d_2 = 0.493 m

Change in spring length \Delta x = d_1 - d_2 = 0.270 - 0.493

\Delta x = -0.223

Step 2: Determining the spring force.

F_s = - k \Delta x

F_s=-0.53*-0.223

F_s=0.12

Hence, spring force on block F_s=0.12 N
