How to Operate the Spring Things:
To operate this window display is easy as ABC. Take one of the metal handles, and pull, but not too hard.
As you can see the further you pull the handles the more it will stretch the springs, there is one compression spring, where is compresses and not expands. This is due to the amount of force that you are pulling on the handles; this causes the spring to increase its length because of its elastic nature. This is called Hooke's Law.
This explains the law of elasticity, it follows this equation: F = -k ∙ x. The spring equation is a very common, and is used when dealing with springs.
F is the force exerted by the spring (or on the string).
k is the spring constant.
x is the distance through which the spring is stretched.
