in other words , if you pull on the bob a lot , the force will be strong ; if you pull on the bob a little , the force will be weak . mathematically , the law is stated as follows : $ f_spring = -k \times x $ k is constant and its value will ultimately scale the force . is the spring highly elastic or quite rigid ?
