Study Notes
Hooke's Law
- Hooke's Law states that the force needed to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position.
Modulus of Elasticity
- The modulus of elasticity (E) is a measure of a material's ability to resist deformation under an applied force.
Spring Force Calculation
- The formula for Hooke's Law is F = kx, where F is the force, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.
- If a spring with a spring constant of 100 N/m is stretched by 0.2 meters, the force exerted by the spring is F = 100 N/m × 0.2 m = 20 N.
