Here are the variables for the equation
f = the force acting upon the object (N)
d = the distance travelled by the object due to the force (m)
W = work (J)

Here are the variables for the equation
k = the spring constant, according to Hooke's Law.
d = the distance travelled by the object due to the force.
W = the work exerted, i.e. work (spring) is the work done by the spring.
Output﻿﻿W (spring)
:9,000.00J​

ExplanationWork is the amount of energy transferred by a force acting on an object as it is displaced. It is a function of work and distance.
One can calculate the normal force of an object and the spring force of an object. The spring force of an object can be calculated using our Hooke's Law calculator.
