Question

Which is the correct equation for the force applied by a spring?

Answer 1

B.
`F = -k*x`

Step-by-step explanation:

The force of a spring can be easily calculated using Hooke's law which tells us that the force applied on a spring is equal to the product of the constant of a spring by the compressed or stretched distance of the spring.

That is:

`F = k*x`

k = spring constant [N/m]

x = distance [m]
