Thanks!

But, for example, if the spring is kept compressed by a coil, electricity must be flowing through the coil to keep the pressure, won't it require electrical power to keep producing this constant force?

Hello, I'm Matheus Mazur, an engineering undergrad from Brazil. It's a pleasure to be part of this forum.

I was wondering, I have an engine that should keep a spring compressed. How can I calculate the power necessary for this? The work is Force x Distance, as there is no distance, there is no work, so no power... But obviously to keep the spring compressed the engine will have to produce a...
