How to Calculate and Solve for Force | Hooke’s Law

Last Updated on December 20, 2022

The image above represents force.

To compute for force, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Elastic Constant (k) and Extension (e).

The formula for calculating force:

F = ke

Where:

F = Force
k = Elastic Constant
e = Extension

Given an example;
Find the force when the elastic constant is 48 and the extension is 6.

The implies that;

k = Elastic Constant = 48
e = Extension = 6

F = ke
F = 48 x 6
F = 288

Therefore, the force is 288 N.

Nickzom Calculator – The Calculator Encyclopedia is capable of calculating the force.

To get the answer and workings of the force using the Nickzom Calculator – The Calculator Encyclopedia. First, you need to obtain the app.

The screenshot below displays the page or activity to enter your values, to get the answer for the force according to the respective parameter which is the Elastic Constant (k) and Extension (e).

Now, enter the values appropriately and accordingly for the parameters as required by the Elastic Constant (k) is 48 and Extension (e) is 6.

Finally, Click on Calculate

As you can see from the screenshot above, Nickzom Calculator– The Calculator Encyclopedia solves for the force and presents the formula, workings and steps too.
