Question 8
Hooke's law states that the force
�
F
exerted by an
ideal
spring displaced a distance
�
x
from its
equilibrium point is given by
(
)=−
� �
��
F
(
x
)=−
kx
, where the constant
�
k
is called the
spring constant
and varies from one spring to another. In real life, many springs are nearly ideal
for small displacements; however, for large displacements, they might deviate from what Hooke's
law predicts.
Much of the confusion between nearly-ideal and non-ideal springs is clarified by thinking in terms of
series: for
�
x
near zero,
(
)=−
+
(

)
.
Suppose you have a spring whose force follows the equation
(
)=−2tan3
� �

)=−2tan3

.
What is its spring constant?
