How to Calculate and Solve for Elastic Constant | Hooke’s Law
Last Updated on December 20, 2022
The image above represents elastic constant.
To compute for elastic constant, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Force (F) and Extension (e).
The formula for calculating elastic constant:
k = F/e
Where:
k = Elastic Constant
F = Force
e = Extension
Given an example;
Find the elastic constant when the force is 30 and the extension is 6.
This implies that;
F = Force = 30
e = Extension = 6
k = F/e
k = 30 / 6
e = 5
Therefore, the elastic constant is 5 Nm-1.
