That constant for these objects also shows up in a law that relates the displacement of an object to the restoring force.
Like capacitors, when these objects are placed in parallel, their effective namesake constant becomes equal to the addition of the two individual values of those constants. The angular frequency of a weight connected to one of these objects is given by taking the square root of that constant over the mass. That constant for these objects also shows up in a law that relates the displacement of an object to the restoring force. For 10 points, Hooke's Law problems are often given in the context of a mass on one of what elastic objects?
