Explanation:
Hooke's law, law of elasticity discovered by the English scientist Robert Hooke in 1660, which states that, for relatively small deformations of an object, the displacement or size of the deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force or load.

Answer:
What is Hooke’s Law?
Hooke’s law states that the strain of the material is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that material.
When the elastic materials are stretched, the atoms and molecules deform until stress is been applied and when the stress is removed they return to their initial state.
Mathematically, Hooke’s law is commonly expressed as:
F = –k.x
In the equation,
F is the force
x is the extension length
k is the constant of proportionality known as spring constant in N/m
