    The spring formula:

    Force = - (spring constant) · (distance stretched or squashed)

    6 N = - (spring constant) · (33 cm)

    = - (0.33 m) · (spring constant)

    Spring constant = - (6 N) / (0.33 m)

    = - 18.18 N/meter.

    The negative signs means that the spring always wants to go in the

    opposite direction from where you forced it, and return to its relaxed

    length. If you stretch it, it tries to get shorter, and if you compress it,

    it tries to get longer.
