Solve the positive-magnitude ideal Hooke’s-law relationship F = kx.

Inputs

Result

Initializing.

Formula and worked example

This positive-magnitude model uses F = kx. For k = 200 N/m and x = 0.05 m, F = 10 N. A second exact unit example is 2 N/mm × 5 mm = 10 N.

Scope and limitations

Ideal linear spring arithmetic only. No sign convention, preload, spring energy, nonlinear response, fatigue, safe load, or spring selection is modeled.
