If you are designing a product that requires any sort of smart-motion precision, spring parts that apply constant force or constant resistance are key mechanical design elements to consider. Two of ...

In this chapter, we’ll explore how to calculate the spring constant of a block on an incline! 🧲 Learn the step-by-step process to solve this problem and apply your knowledge of forces, friction, and ...

Introduction Have you ever played with a Slinky, used a pinball machine, written with a click pen or ridden in a car? If so, then you have made use of a spring! Springs are in machines all around us ...

This model simulates the mechanical behavior of a spring and damper system shown in Figure 14.80. Figure 14.80: Spring and Damper System Model A mass is hung from a spring with spring constant K. The ...

In this video, we break down how to calculate the equivalent spring constant for springs in parallel and series! 🏞️🔧 Learn the key differences between the two configurations and how to use simple ...

Most people probably don’t think about springs until one kinks up or snaps, but most of the world’s springs are pretty crucial. The ones that aren’t go by the name Slinky. We all use and encounter ...

To investigate experimentally the extension of a spring and how it is related to the applied force, and recall that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied, provided ...
