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 ...

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 ...

Hooke’s Science. Hooke wasn’t simply important to science in the 17th century — he was downright omnipresent. His most lasting contributions probably came in the field of biology.

When I get excited about a movie, my only way of calming down is to do a little physics. That explains why I found myself pondering Hooke's law and Young's modulus while watching a trailer for ...

What goes up must come down — though not always in the way you’d expect. This is Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation, and you can thank it for GPS, ...
