Formula
The Hooke's Law Calculator uses the formula:
Spring force = Spring constant (k) × Displacement (x)
Worked example
For example, with spring constant (k) of 200 N/m and displacement (x) of 0.1 m, the spring force is 20.000.
| Spring constant (k) | 200 N/m |
|---|---|
| Displacement (x) | 0.1 m |
| Spring force | 20.000 |
|---|

- Force
- A push or pull on an object, equal to mass × acceleration (Newton's second law).
Frequently asked questions
It states the force from a spring is proportional to how far it is stretched or compressed: F = kx. A 200 N/m spring stretched 0.1 m exerts 20 N.
The spring constant k measures stiffness in newtons per metre. A higher k means a stiffer spring that needs more force to stretch.
Only within the elastic limit. Stretch a spring too far and it deforms permanently, so the linear relationship breaks down.
The spring pushes or pulls back toward its rest position, opposing the displacement, which is why real force is often written as F = −kx.
The Hooke's Law Calculator uses the formula: Spring force = Spring constant (k) × Displacement (x). For example, with spring constant (k) of 200 N/m and displacement (x) of 0.1 m, the spring force is 20.000.
Enter the spring constant (k). Enter the displacement (x). Read off your spring force — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.
