Hook's Law
- It is a basic principle of mechanics that states the relationship between the applied force and the resulting deformation in an elastic material.
- It states that the amount of stretching or compressing of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force, within the elastic limit.
- The mathematical expression of Hook's Law is:
F = kx
Where,
- F = applied force
- k = spring constant
- x = deformation or displacement
- Hook's Law is used to describe the behavior of springs and elastic materials in general, and is an important concept in mechanics, engineering, and physics.
