k is a constant. It is called the âconstant of proportionality , or âconstant of variationâ. Both terms mean the same thing. The terms are interchangeable. The constant of proportionality means that DIVIDING the DISTANCE by the TIME is a CONSTANT value (k, the constant of variation). To solve for k, divide each side of the equation by the variable time:
Hooke's Law states that the restoring force of a spring is directly proportional to a small displacement. where x is the size of the displacement. The proportionality constant k is specific for each spring. The object of this virtual lab is to determine the spring constant k. Displacement is measured in centimeters.
