Variable Key
F= force (N)k= spring constant (N/m)x= displacement from equilibrium (m)PE= elastic potential energy (J)
Force
Restoring force exerted by the spring.
Spring constant
Stiffness of the spring — force needed per unit stretch.
Displacement
How far the spring is stretched or compressed.
Elastic potential energy
Energy stored in a compressed or stretched spring.
F= force (N)
k= spring constant (N/m)
x= displacement from equilibrium (m)
PE= elastic potential energy (J)
Hooke's Law states that a spring's restoring force is proportional to displacement: F = kx. The spring constant k (stiffness) determines how much force is needed per unit of stretch or compression.

Fun Fact
Robert Hooke discovered this relationship in 1678. He first published it as an anagram ("ceiiinosssttuu") to protect his priority — decoded it means "ut tensio, sic vis" (as the extension, so the force).
