I know this is an idealization, but I'm wondering if there is a reason this idealization works so well. Is it related to the coil of the spring or the bonds between each atom in the spring?
I have considered using
## F = \frac{kq_1q_2Nsin\left(\theta \right)}{r^2} ##
Where:
## \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} ## would just be the force between two atoms in the spring
N would be the number of atoms
## \sin \left(\theta \right)## would be the portion of the force vector parallel to the length of the spring
Unfortunately these variable seemingly can't be written as a function of each other so my attempt ends there (flop). Any ideas?
** Well actually that seems to suggest(ish) that ## F = - k/x^2 ##
