Description
🔍 Explore
Investigate how applied force, spring stiffness and displacement are linked.
🎮 Try It
Change the spring constant and applied force, then display the spring-force and displacement arrows. In Systems mode, compare series and parallel arrangements. In Energy mode, set the displacement and watch stored elastic energy change.
🎯 Your Mission
Use two different spring constants and find forces that produce the same displacement. Predict the second force before adjusting it, then check the graph and readout.
🌍 Real-World Connection
Spring scales use a measured stretch to determine the force from an object’s weight.
