Question

In Hooke’s law, what does the x represent?

Answer 1

X Represents the distance the spring is stretched or compressed away from its equilibrium or rest position.

Answer 2

Answer:

x is the displacement of spring

Explanation:

The Hooke's law gives the force acting on the spring when it is compressed or stretched. The mathematical expression for force is given by :

$F=-kx$

Where

k is the spring constant of and it shows the stiffness of spring.

x shows the displacement of spring when it is stretched or compressed from equilibrium position and it acts in opposite direction.
