For a tightly coupled oscillator, the spring constant is equal to ? |
|
Answer» F = -KX. The proportional CONSTANT k is CALLED the spring constant. It is a measure of the spring's stiffness. When a spring is stretched or compressed, so that its length CHANGES by an amount x from its equilibrium length, then it exerts a force F = -kx in a direction TOWARDS its equilibrium position. |
