Study Notes
Hooke's Law
- Hooke's law is mathematically expressed as F = kx, where F is the force applied to a spring, k is the spring constant, and x is the extension of the spring.
- Hooke's law describes the relationship between the force applied to a spring and its resulting extension, within the spring's proportional limit.
- If the force applied to a spring is doubled, its extension will also double, as described by Hooke's law.
