Spring Work Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Spring Work (Ws) is:

\[ Ws = k \times x^2 \]

Where:

\( Ws \) is the Spring Work (Joules (N-m/s)).
\( k \) is the spring rate (N/m).
\( x \) is the displacement (meters).

What is Spring Work?

Spring Work is the energy stored in a spring when it is compressed or stretched. It is calculated by multiplying the spring constant by the displacement squared.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Spring Rate (k): 150 N/m
Displacement (x): 0.2 meters

Using the formula to calculate the Spring Work:

\[ Ws = 150 \times 0.2^2 = 6 \text{ Joules (N-m/s)} \]

This means that the spring work for this example is 6 Joules (N-m/s).
