In Hooke's law, F spring = k (triangle) X , what does the k stand for?

A. the amount of force acting on the spring

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

C. the distance the spring stretches

D. the constant of gravity

Hook's law is: F = - K Δx

Where:

F stands for the force that the spring exerts

K is stands for the constant of the spring

Δx stands for the distance the spring is displaced from the equilibrium point.

And the negative sign is due to F is opposite to the direction in which the spring is away from the equilibrium point.

the answer is B. the elastic constant, a number that tells the relative strength of the spring.

This question involves the concepts of Hooke's Law and spring constant.

In Hooke's Law k stands for "B. the elastic constant, a number that tells the relative strength of the spring".

According to Hooke's Law, Force applied on a spring is directly proportional to the stretch in its length. Mathematically:

[tex]F=kx\\\\k=\frac{F}{x}[/tex]

where,

k is the constant of proportionality known as a spring constant. It shows the relative strength of the spring in terms of the force applied per unit stretch in length.
