How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the spring constant \( k \) in N/m.
  2. Enter the displacement \( x \) from the equilibrium position in meters.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the restoring force.
  4. The result will be displayed in Newtons (N).

Hooke's Law

Hooke's Law states that the restoring force \( F \) of a spring is directly proportional to the displacement \( x \) from its equilibrium position. The formula is given by:

\[ F = -kx \]

The negative sign indicates that the force is in the opposite direction to the displacement.
