What does Hooke's Contstant means and what does it mean when you have a greater constant or a smaller constant

Question

I just havea question about hooke's law of contant, what does it mean when u have a greater value for your constant, k or a smaller value?

Answer 1

Smaller k means that you dont have to try very hard to stretch or compress a spring. Large k means that you will have to apply a great force in order to strecth or compress a spring. In other words k is a measure of how hard it is to stretch or compress a spring (Or anything liek it)
