The spring constant is defined as the force exerted by a spring per unit displacement, and its SI unit is measured in newtons per meter (N/m). By breaking down the unit of force (newton) and the unit of displacement (meter) into their respective SI base units, we get: N = kg·m/s² (newton is the SI unit of force) m = meter (meter is the SI unit of displacement) So, the unit for the spring constant, k, becomes: k = N/m = (kg·m/s²) / meter = kg/s² Hence, the SI base units for the spring constant are kg/s². |
