In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, Fs = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the sp...

2025年2月14日 · Hooke’s Law states that for small displacements or deformations, the applied force is directly proportional to the displacement. Hooke’s Law helps explain the mechanical properties and strength of elastic materials.

2025年2月24日 · 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.

In mechanics (physics), Hooke’s law is an approximation of the response of elastic (i.e., springlike) bodies. It states: the extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the load applied to it. For instance, the spring is pulled downwards with either no load, F p, or twice F p.

Hooke’s law, also referred to as the law of elasticity, was discovered by an English scientist named Robert Hooke in the year 1660. Hooke’s law basically states that “When an object has a relatively small deformation, the size of the deformation is directly proportional to …

When a force is applied to an object it can change its size and shape. The force will either stretch or compress the object. Some objects, like springs, obey Hooke’s law. This law describes the...

2022年1月28日 · Only below the thresholds of nonlinearity and plasticity (which are typically close to each other), the strain is nearly proportional to stress, i.e. obeys the famous Hooke’s law. 8 8 However, even in this elastic range, the law is not quite simple, and even for an isotropic medium is described not by one but by two constants, called the elastic...

2018年4月18日 · Hooke's law or the law of elasticity named after 17th century Physicist Robert Hooke is the law that states the Force acting on an elastic object is equal to k*x. In other words, the law states that the force required to stretch an elastic object such as a spring is directly proportional to how far the object stretches.

When stress and strain were covered in Newton’s Third Law of Motion, the name was given to this relationship between force and displacement was Hooke’s law: Here, F is the restoring force, x is the displacement from equilibrium or deformation, and k is a constant related to the difficulty in deforming the system.
