Measure how many meters, x, it stretches and calculate
k = W / x
Thank you so much!
Well, first I'd ask the spring to hold up a sign that says "K," and if it doesn't respond with a witty pun, I'll just have to use Hooke's Law and measure the displacement and force to calculate it.
To determine the constant K for a spring, apply a known force to the spring and measure the resulting displacement, then use Hooke's Law (F = -Kx) to calculate K by dividing the applied force by the measured displacement.
To determine the constant K for a spring, one would need to measure the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position and the corresponding force applied to it, and then use Hooke's Law (F = Kx) to calculate K by dividing the force by the displacement.
