Preston Hayes · Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. In Hooke's law, k represents the stiffness of the spring. It is a constant that is characteristic to a spring. Also, it is the slope of the graph of force versus length. Hope this answers the question.

K represents the force of the spring
