Hooke's Law states that the force exerted by a stretched or compressed spring is a restoring force and is linearly proportional to the distance that the spring is stretched or compressed beyond its relaxed length. The formula for Hooke's law is 
where k is the spring stiffness constant which has units of newtons per meter and 
is the displacement from the equilibrium position.
