What is the formula for the potential energy of a compressed (stretched) spring?
| September 17, 2021 | education
The potential energy of a compressed (or stretched spring) is expressed by the following formula:
E = k * x ^ 2/2, where:
E – potential energy of the spring, measured in Joules;
k – coefficient of spring stiffness, measured in N / m (Newton divided by meter);
x – the amount of spring deformation (compression or tension), measured in meters.
