Maximum Displacement of a Block Hanging from a Spring Calculator

Maximum Displacement Calculator

Calculate the maximum extension of a spring when a block is dropped from its natural length: $$ x_{max} = \frac{2mg}{k} $$

* Ensure that mass $m$ is in kilograms (kg), gravitational acceleration $g$ is in m/s², and spring constant $k$ is in newtons per meter (N/m).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Mass, $m$ (kg):

e.g., 1 kg

Spring Constant, $k$ (N/m):

e.g., 50 N/m

Gravitational Acceleration, $g$ (m/s²):

e.g., 9.81 m/s²
