Physics for IGCSE & O level - Forces And Pressure (Section 3 - No. 19)

What happens to the value of the spring constant (k) if a stiffer spring is used?
The spring constant decreases.
The spring constant increases.
The spring constant remains the same.
The spring constant becomes zero.

Explanation

A stiffer spring requires more force for a given extension, thus increasing k.
