Question

Which is the correct equation for the force applied by a spring?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $F = -k*x$

Explanation:

The force of a spring can be easily calculated using Hooke's law which tells us that the force applied on a spring is equal to the product of the constant of a spring by the compressed or stretched distance of the spring.

That is:

$F = k*x$

k = spring constant [N/m]

x = distance [m]
