The spring constant shows how easy or hard it is to stretch a spring, for example a spring with a spring constant, k = 4 N/cm means a force of 4N is required to stretch the spring by 1 cm.

The spring is a marvel of human engineering and creativity. For one, it comes in so many varieties—the compression spring, the extension spring, the torsion spring, the coil spring, etc.—all ...

Also, since the spring "behaved," it's a little bit easier to find the spring constant. From the slope of the linear fit, this spring has a constant of around 8.6 newtons per meter—even after ...
