- The net force is greatest at the position of maximum displacement
- The net force is zero when at the equilibrium position
Explanation:
The motion of a spring is a Simple Harmonic Motion, in which the displacement of the end of the spring is given by a periodic function of the form
where A is the amplitude (the maximum displacement), and the angular frequency of the motion.
We can analyze the net force acting on the spring by looking at Hooke's law:
where
F is the net force
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement
From the equation, we notice immediately that:
- The net force is the greatest when the displacement x is the greates, so at the position in which the spring has maximum compression or stretching
- The net force is zero when the displacement x is zero, so when the spring crosses the equilibrium position
