Topic 2.8: Spring Forces
Learning Objective: 2.8.A
Describe the force exerted on an object by an ideal spring
Essential Knowledge: 2.8.A.1
An ideal spring has negligible mass and exerts a force that is proportional to the change in its length as measured from its relaxed length.
Essential Knowledge: 2.8.A.2
The magnitude of the force exerted by an ideal spring on an object is given by Hooke’s law:
Essential Knowledge: 2.8.A.3
The force exerted on an object by a spring is always directed toward the equilibrium position of the object–spring system.
