What is Hooke’s law? Illustrate its applications. Also, define and calculate the spring constant.
Hooke’s Law states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the displacement (change in length) of the spring from its equilibrium position. Mathematically, it is expressed as: F=k⋅x Where: F is the force applied to the spring (in newtons, N), k is the spring constant (in newtons per meter, … Read more
