Restoring Force Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Restoring Force:

\[ \text{Fr} = k \cdot d \]

Where:

\(\text{Fr}\) is the Restoring Force (N)
\(\text{k}\) is the Spring Constant (N/m)
\(\text{d}\) is the Displacement (m)

Restoring Force

The restoring force is a force that acts on an object to return it to its equilibrium position after it has been displaced. It is a type of conservative force that always acts in the direction of restoring the object to its original position. In the context of springs, the restoring force increases with the displacement from the rest length, following Hooke's Law.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Spring Constant (k) = 50 N/m
Displacement (d) = 0.2 m

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Fr} = 50 \times 0.2 = 10 \text{ N} \]

The Restoring Force (Fr) is 10 N.
