In Hooke's law, F s p r i n g end equals k increment x, what does the increment x stand for?

a. elastic constant, a number that tells the relative strength of the spring

b. the distance the spring stretches

c. the amount of force acting on the spring

d. the constant of gravity

Respuesta :

Answer: option b, the distance the spring stretches.

Hook's law is: F = - K Δx

Where:

F stands for the force that the spring exerts

K is stands for the constant of the spring

Δx stands for the distance the spring is displaced from the equilibrium point.

And the negative sign is due to F is opposite to the direction in which the spring is away from the equilibrium point.
