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 stated his observation as "Ut ...

Hooke's Law, as any schoolboy used to know, states that the extension of a spring will be in direct proportion to the force applied to it: double the weight on it, and it will stretch twice as far ...

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 to estimate the spring constant. Since, ...

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.

An explanation of Hooke’s Law, using a spring as the example.

Robert Hooke discovered the cell, established experimentation as crucial to scientific research, and did pioneering work in optics, gravitation, paleontology, architecture, and more. Yet history ...

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.

The papers of Robert Hooke, a 17th century scientist hailed as Britain's answer to Leonardo, have gone on line so that his pioneering work can now be appreciated by a global audience.
