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 ...

Hooke’s Law is obeyed up to the limit of proportionality. Beyond this point, stretching force and extension are no longer directly proportional and the graph begins to curve.

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 is incredibly important in engineering but, again, most students will not become engineers or rely on a knowledge of the properties of springs, unless they get themselves a job in a ...

Last Updated: 7/27/18. Teaching Standard: This module introduces a setup for calculating the Spring Constant using Hooke’s Law. In this setup, the Raspberry Pi is interfaced with an Ultrasonic Sensor ...

The image set to be hung at IOP shows Hooke holding a quill and a book in his right hand and a spring in his left. The spring represents one of Hooke's defining successes -- Hooke's law of elasticity.

But Hooke was convinced that Newton would not have come up with inverse square law without Hooke’s input. It was an assertion Newton bitterly disputed — and one that sealed Hooke’s fate.

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 law states that the extension of a spring is in direct proportion to the load applied to it – a law which many materials obey and which culminated in the development of a balance spring.
