Question

In Hooke’s law, what does k represent?

a. mass of the spring
b. length of the spring
c. force of the spring
d. stiffness of the spring
e. width of the spring

Answer 1

I believe the k value represents the D. Stiffness of the spring.

Answer 2

d) stiffness of the spring

Step-by-step explanation:

As per Hooke's law for spring we know that restoring force of the spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring from its natural length

so it is given as

`F = kx`

here

k = spring constant which depends on the material of the spring

here we know that

k = it is stiffness constant so more stiff spring will have more stiffness constant
