Detailed explanation-1: -Based on the experiment and calculation, the spring constant of spring 1 calculated by Hooke’s Law and the simple harmonic motion experiment has an average value of 23.22 N/m with an error of 3.24% and 23.06 N/m with an error of 3.90%.
Detailed explanation-2: -The one which stretches less will have the larger spring constant. The explanation for this is that the spring constant is inversely proportional to the displacement of the spring. Hence, the spring whose x is less will have more spring constant.
Detailed explanation-3: -The car’s suspension spring has a higher spring constant.
Detailed explanation-4: -The spring constant, k, is representative of how stiff the spring is. Stiffer (more difficult to stretch) springs have higher spring constants. The displacement of an object is a distance measurement that describes that change from the normal, or equilibrium, position.
