Hooke's law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched or compressed.

• Hooke's law is named after the English scientist Robert Hooke.

• It is commonly used to describe the behavior of springs and elastic materials.

• The law can be mathematically expressed as F = kx, where F is the force applied, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement.

• Hooke's law applies within the elastic limit of a material, beyo...read more
