Only for linear elastic range; the sign oppose displacement. Plastic deformation and spring mass no join.

Formula

F=−kx

Calculate restoring force for spring wey follow linear elastic model.

Example wey show the calculation

How stiff the spring be (N/m)

We check inputs for missing values and allowed ranges. Result wey pass the finite numeric range no go show. Rounding affect wetin display, while calculation use the model numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before you rely on result. Changing label no convert currency or physical unit.
