Hooke's Law
When an elastic object - such as a spring - is stretched, the increased length is called its extension. The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it
F= k x e
F is the force in newtons, N
k is the 'spring constant' in newtons per metre, N/m
e is the extension in metres, m
This equation works as long as the elastic limit (the limit of proportionality) is not exceeded. If a…
