The extension is no longer proportional to the applied force.. This is known as Hooke’s law and must be memorised for the examination. Equation. Stretching force F = spring constant k x extension e.
Hooke, Hooke's Law: Index: Robert Hooke studied the uniaxial force required to extend springs and long straight wires and found it to be proportional to the extension of the device under test. He ...
Hooke's law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring is proportional to the distance it is stretched. In 1662, Hooke was given the role of Curator of Experiments for the Royal ...
In fact, this is what Hooke's law is all about. It's a model for the force exerted by a spring, and it says the spring force is proportional to the amount the spring is compressed or stretched. As ...
I blame Destin and his interesting sling shot video. Watch it. In this video, he claims that rubber bands do not act like springs. By "acting like springs" of course he means Hooke's law. This ...
In the 40 years or so since first learning Hooke’s law, I can’t remember ever explicitly using it in my everyday life, despite being a physicist. Whenever I give a talk on this subject, someone often ...
