Hooke spring law calculator

Calculate restoring force and stored energy with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use restoring force and stored energy to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Spring stiffness (N/m)
100
Displacement (m)
0.1
Restoring force (N)
-10
Stored energy (J)
0.5

Try another scenario

Spring stiffness (N/m)
110.00000000000001
Displacement (m)
0.1
Restoring force (N)
-11
Stored energy (J)

Calculation method

Calculation method

Restoring force (N)

-a × b

Stored energy (J)

a × b × b ÷ 2

Symbols and units
a
Spring stiffness (N/m)
b
Displacement (m)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Linear spring within its elastic range. Negative force indicates opposition to displacement.
