Force Applied to a Spring (Hooke's Law) Worksheet
When a force is applied to a spring, it can stretch or compress. The amount it stretches is directly proportional to the force applied, as long as the spring isn't stretched beyond its limit. This is described by Hooke’s Law, which is: Force = Spring Constant × Extension. The spring constant tells you how stiff the spring is, and the extension is how much it stretches from its original length.
