The linear relationship between how far a spring stretches and how hard it pulls back.
Hooke's law holds as long as the spring isn't stretched past its elastic limit — push a spring too far and it deforms permanently, at which point this linear relationship no longer applies and the spring won't return to its original shape.
A higher spring constant k means a stiffer spring that resists stretching more — this single number characterizes a spring's behavior completely within its elastic range, which is why it's the key spec on any spring's datasheet.
Restoring force (N)

F = k · x
What you entered
F = k × x
200 × 0.05= 10 NResult
Restoring force (N): 10
A spring with k=200 N/m stretched 0.05m exerts 10 N.
