Physics

If the displacement is halved, the force exerted by the spring is halved.

According to Hooke's Law, the restoring force FFF exerted by a spring is given by the equation:

F = -kx

where:

F is the restoring force,

k is the spring constant, and

x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.

If the displacement is halved, the new displacement .

The force then becomes:
