Thank you, I was unsure!Bystander said:Don't see anything wrong.
The formula for the spring constant of a compressed spring is k = F/x, where k is the spring constant, F is the force applied to the spring, and x is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position.
The unit of measurement for spring constant is Newtons per meter (N/m) in the SI system and pounds per inch (lbs/in) in the imperial system.
The spring constant directly affects the amount of compression in a spring. A higher spring constant means that the spring is stiffer and will require more force to compress, while a lower spring constant means the spring is more flexible and will compress more easily.
Yes, the spring constant of a compressed spring can change. The spring constant is affected by factors such as the material of the spring, the diameter and length of the spring, and the number of coils. Any changes to these factors can result in a change in the spring constant.
The spring constant of a compressed spring can be determined experimentally by measuring the displacement of the spring when a known force is applied to it. This process can be repeated with different forces, and the results can be plotted on a graph to determine the spring constant.
