Spring Work Formula Elements

Variables
Spring work
Spring work is equal to the work done to stretch the spring, which depends upon the spring constant 'k' as well as the distance stretched.
Symbol: Wspring
Measurement: EnergyUnit: J
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Spring Constant
Spring Constant is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position.
Symbol: Kspring
Measurement: Stiffness ConstantUnit: N/m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Displacement at point 2
Displacement at point 2 is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
Symbol: x2
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Displacement at point 1
Displacement at point 1 is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
Symbol: x1
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Spring Work?

Spring Work evaluator uses Spring Work = Spring Constant*(Displacement at point 2^2-Displacement at point 1^2)/2 to evaluate the Spring work, Spring Work formula is defined as the measure of energy transferred by a spring when it is compressed or extended between two positions. It quantifies the work done by the spring based on its stiffness and the displacement from its equilibrium position. Spring work is denoted by Wspring symbol.

How to evaluate Spring Work using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Spring Work, enter Spring Constant (Kspring), Displacement at point 2 (x2) & Displacement at point 1 (x1) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Spring Work

What is the formula to find Spring Work?
The formula of Spring Work is expressed as Spring Work = Spring Constant*(Displacement at point 2^2-Displacement at point 1^2)/2. Here is an example- 478.125 = 51*(5^2-2.5^2)/2.
How to calculate Spring Work?
With Spring Constant (Kspring), Displacement at point 2 (x2) & Displacement at point 1 (x1) we can find Spring Work using the formula - Spring Work = Spring Constant*(Displacement at point 2^2-Displacement at point 1^2)/2.
Can the Spring Work be negative?
Yes, the Spring Work, measured in Energy can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Spring Work?
