experimental verification of Hook's law class 11th physics
brief exaplanation
Answers
Answer:
Hooke's law states that the extent to which an elastic material will change size and shape under stress is directly proportional to the amount of stress applied to it.
Explanation:
An ideal spring is remarkable in the sense that it is a system where the generated force is linearly dependent on how far it is stretched, this behavior is described by Hooke's law. According to Hooke's Law stated above that to extend a spring by an amount dx from its previous position, one needs a force F which is determined by F = kdx. Here k is the spring constant which is a quality of each spring. Therefore, in order to verify Hooke's Law, you must verify that the force F and the distance at which the spring is stretched are proportional to each other (that just means linearly dependent on each other), and that the constant of proportionality is k.
