Solution

Yes, the temperature affects the spring constant.

  1. Spring constant decreases with an increase in temperature.
  2. The definition of spring constant can be got from Hooke's Law, F=kx, (where F is force, k is spring constant and x is displacement in length.
  3. When the temperature of any material increases then the displacement length x increases and the spring constant k decreases.
  4. The unit of spring constant is Nm.
