      • When a metal spring is stretched or compressed, it is displaced from its equilibrium position. As a result, it experiences a restoring force that tends to retract the spring back to its original position. This force is called the spring force. It is a contact force that can be found in elastic materials.

    Spring force. A compressed or stretched spring exerts a restoring force on a mass attached to it. The restoring force always acts opposite to the deformation of the spring to bring the spring back to its original length.

    …the force is called the spring force. If x is positive (displacement to the right), the resulting force is negative (to the left), and vice versa. In other words, the spring force always acts so as to restore mass back toward its equilibrium position.

    Mar 12, 2024 · These forces remove mechanical energy from the system, gradually reducing the motion until the ruler comes to rest. The simplest oscillations occur when the restoring force is directly proportional to displacement. This is called Hooke’s law force, or spring force: \[F=-k x. \nonumber \]

    Sep 14, 2020 · The spring force models the force in a system due to the presence of a stretched or compressed spring. This force is based upon two factors of the spring: the spring's stiffness and the distance the spring has been stretched.

    The force needed to stretch or compress a spring is proportional to its change in length. This is known as Hooke's law and it works for many spring-like things.

    Spring force. A spring is a special medium with a specific atomic structure that has the ability to restore its shape, if deformed. To restore its shape, a spring exerts a restoring force that is proportional to and in the opposite direction in which it is stretched or compressed.
