Hooke's Law Spring Force Calculator implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

A finite extreme input, k = 1e308 and x = 1e308, produces -Infinity in plain JavaScript arithmetic instead of a finite force. The specification also leaves the sign convention for x ambiguous, which can reverse the reported force direction.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.

    "k": 200,

  },
  "expected_outputs": {
    "F": -3,
    "F_unit": "N"
  },
  "working": "F = −kx\nF = −(200 N/m)(0.015 m)\nF = −3 N"
