Hooke's Law Quiz

Hooke's law is named after 17th-century British physicist Robert Hooke.

Hooke's law 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).

Robert Hooke first stated the law in 1676 as a Latin anagram and published the solution of his anagram in 1678.

<p>Hooke's equation holds (to some extent) in many other situations where an elastic body is deformed, such as wind blowing on a tall building, and a musician plucking a string of a guitar.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The equation for Hooke's law is Fs = kx, where Fs is the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance x, and k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring.</p> Signup and view all the answers
