Question

What is Hook's law . Explain it

Answer 1

Mathematically, Hooke's law states that the applied force F equals a constant k times the displacement or change in length x, or F = kx. ... Hooke's law describes the elastic properties of materials only in the range in which the force and displacement are proportional.

Answer 2

Hooke's law is a law of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, Fₛ = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring, and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.
