Ako vypočítať Spring Constant

Čo je Spring Constant?

Hooke's Law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring is proportional to the displacement. The spring constant k (measured in N/m) quantifies the spring's stiffness — a higher k means a stiffer spring requiring more force per unit of extension.

Vzorec

F = k × x (Hooke\'s Law)
F
force applied (Newtons) — force applied (Newtons)

Sprievodca krok za krokom

  1. 1F = k × x (Hooke's Law)
  2. 2F = force applied (Newtons)
  3. 3k = spring constant (N/m)
  4. 4x = extension or compression from equilibrium (metres)
  5. 5Elastic potential energy stored: PE = ½ × k × x²

Worked Examples

Vstup
k = 200 N/m, extended 0.05m
Výsledok
Force = 10 N
200 × 0.05 = 10 N
Vstup
Force 50N extends spring by 25cm
Výsledok
k = 200 N/m
50 / 0.25 = 200 N/m
