Question

In Hooke's law, Fspring=kΔx , what does the Fspring stand for?

the amount of force acting on the spring

the elastic constant, a number that tells the relative strength of the spring

the constant of gravity

the distance the spring stretches

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of force acting on the spring.

Explanation:

Here, Fspring= kΔx  is a equation denoting the amount of force acting on the spring.

where, k = spring constant.

           Δx= change in the length of the spring.

so, for every Δx change in spring length, kΔx force acts on the spring.

Answer 2

Answer:

the elastic constant, a number that tells the relative strength of the spring
