Question

What does K stand for in Hookes law?

Answer 1

Answer:

Spring Constant

Explanation:

Hooke's law: The force required to squeeze or expand a spring by a distance (d) is directly proportional to the distance. It is given as,

$F_{s} = K\times d$

Here, K = spring constant.

It is measure of the stiffness of the spring. If we draw the graph of Force with respect to the distance it will be a linear plot passing through the origin. The slope of the plot will be equal to K.

Answer 2

So Hooke's law says that that law is proportional to how much I stretch the spring. Alright. So f=kx. x is the length of the spring now minus its length when it's relaxed and nobody's pulling on it. k is a constant called the spring constant.
