Bed Springs

These springs hold up the mattress by stretching and storing potential energy as weight is applied to the mattress.

Lamp, Spring

This is the set of springs connected to a lamp. Each spring is connected to a lever arm that holds up the light of the lamp. The the pairs of springs, when placed at the proper location on the arms of the lamp, have a large enough spring constant to hold the weight, caused by the head of the lamp, upwards.

Pen (Spring)

This is an example of potential energy in a spring inside a pen. The spring on the left is compressed and held in that position, meaning it has potential energy at that moment. When it it is release the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and the spring stretches out like in the picture to the right.
