Hooke's Law Learning Goal: To understand the use of Hooke's law for a spring. Hooke's law states that the restoring force F on a spring when it has been stretched or compressed is proportional to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position. The equilibrium position is the position at which the spring is neither stretched nor compressed. Recall that F a a means that F is equal to a constant times ž. For a spring, the proportionality constant is called the spring constant and denoted by k. The spring constant is a property of the spring and must be measured experimentally. The larger the value of k, the stiffer the spring. In equation form, Hooke's law can be written F = -k. The minus sign indicates that the force is in the opposite direction to that of the spring's displacement from its equilibrium length and is "trying" to restore the spring to its equilibrium position. The magnitude of the force is given by F ka, where is the magnitude of the displacement, EasyBite Free Bon N California State U...

Putting this much into the back of a pickup truck puts quite a large load on the truck springs. A truck has springs for each wheel, but for simplicity assume that the individual springs can be treated as one spring with a spring constant that includes the effect of all the springs. Also for simplicity assume that all four springs compress equally when weight is added to the truck and that the equilibrium length of the springs is the length they have when they support the load of an empty truck e her Part A y of A 63 kg driver gets into an empty faptap to start the day's work.
