This model simulates the mechanical behavior of a spring and damper system shown in Figure 14.80. Figure 14.80: Spring and Damper System Model A mass is hung from a spring with spring constant K. The ...

Forces may change the shape of an object. An elastic object, such as a spring, stores elastic potential energy when stretched or squashed. The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional ...

elastic potential energy (\(\text{E}_{e}\)) is measured in joules (J) spring constant (\(k\)) is measured in newtons per metre (N/m) extension, referring to the ...
