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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
