How to calculate spring potential energy factor
This calculator finds a spring potential energy factor by multiplying spring constant by compression squared, then dividing by two — the standard elastic potential energy formula.
How the calculation works
Spring PE factor = (Spring constant × Compression²) ÷ 2.
Example
A spring constant of 150 N/m with a compression-squared value of 0.04 (m²): (150×0.04)÷2 = 6÷2 = 3 J.

Pro Tips for Spring Potential Energy Factor
- Make sure you're entering compression squared, not raw compression distance, into this specific calculator's input.
- Energy scales with the square of compression, so doubling compression quadruples stored energy for the same spring constant.
Common Spring Potential Energy Factor Mistakes to Avoid
- Entering raw compression distance instead of its squared value, which would produce an incorrect (much smaller) energy result.
