Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Force on a spring is given by
A
spring constant / extension
B
spring constant x extension
C
1/2 x spring constant x extension2
D
spring constant / extension2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -F =-kx. The proportional constant k is called the spring constant. It is a measure of the spring’s stiffness. When a spring is stretched or compressed, so that its length changes by an amount x from its equilibrium length, then it exerts a force F =-kx in a direction towards its equilibrium position.
