⚡ Quick Summary
The force exerted by a spring is proportional to its displacement from its equilibrium position.
F = kx, where F is the spring force, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position.
A spring exerts a force proportional to its displacement from its equilibrium position. This force is given by Hooke's Law. The spring constant is a measure of the stiffness of the spring.
