What is restoring force?
(N/A) restoring force is a force that acts to bring a body to its equilibrium position whenever it is displaced from that position.
Mathematically,for a linear system like a spring,it is given by Hooke's Law: $F = -kx$,where $F$ is the restoring force,$k$ is the force constant,and $x$ is the displacement from the equilibrium position.
The negative sign indicates that the force is always directed opposite to the direction of displacement.
