Question
On what factors does the force constant of a spring depend?

Answer

The value of spring constant (coefficient of elasticity) k, apart from the elastic properties of the spring, also depends on the original length of the spring, the value of k is less for soft spring and the value of k for hard spring it happen more. Similarly, for a longer spring, k is less and for a shorter spring, k is greater.
