Question

What is the Force Constant of a spring?

Answer 1

1. A force constant is another term for a spring constant in physics, as specified by Hooke's law.
2. Spring Constant or force constant is defined as the applied force if the displacement in the spring is unity. Force constant is denoted by ‘k’.
3. The strength constant$k$ is related to the rigidity (or stiffness) of a system; the bigger the force constant, the greater the restoring force, and the stiffer the system.
4. The unit of $k$ is $N/m(Newtonpermetre)$.
