Spring Force Calculator
Compute the restoring force of a spring using Hooke's Law (F = k × x).
CalcSimpler Examples
- k=200 N/m, x=0.1 m ⇒ 20 N
- k=150 N/m, x=0.2 m ⇒ 30 N
FAQ
Does direction matter?
This returns magnitude; direction depends on compression or extension.
What is Hooke's Law?
It states the force is proportional to displacement.
Can the spring constant change?
Only if the spring is stretched beyond its elastic limit.
Can displacement be negative?
Yes, compression is negative, but this tool returns the magnitude.
Additional Information
- Applies only within the elastic range of the spring.
- Force increases linearly with displacement for ideal springs.
