1.2.1 (Discussion) Hooke's Law and Young's Modulus of Elasticity 

Comparative Analysis (5 pts each) :

1. What are the similarities and differences, if any, between Hooke’s Law and Young’s Modulus of
Elasticity? (Dela Cruz)

Similarities:

• Young Modulus of Elasticity equation is a more detailed version of Hooke’s Law.

• Both have K value in their equation but it has different purpose

Differences:

• Hooke’s Law is a law that pertains to the relationship between the force on an induced strain and
an object and both of them is directly proportional on one another
• Hooke’s Law can be written as F=kε where k is a constant equal to F/ε aka force over strain.
• Hooke’s Law talks about the detail of the spring which was extended by force.
• Young's Modulus of Elasticity is a method in which it determines each material how stiff it is or how
likely it is to deform
• Young's Modulus of Elasticity k value means the (force/area) over strain.
• Young's Modulus of Elasticity is the generalize method or generalize procedure to allow springs to
go on different lengths and cross sectional areas

2. Elastic region and Plastic region lie on the same axis of the Stress and Strain Diagram. What is the
difference between the two as applied to a stressed material? (Belarmino)

Every material responds differently to stress. The response is highly dependent on the chemical bond type
of the substance. Deformations can be elastic, or plastic based on what happens after the stress is
released. Elastic deformation is the deformation that disappears upon removal of the external forces
causing the alteration and the stress associated with it. Plastic deformation is a permanent deformation or
change in shape of a solid body without fracture under the action of a sustained force. The main difference
between elastic deformation and plastic deformation is that elastic deformation is reversible whereas plastic
deformation is irreversible. Elastic deformation is a type of deformation where after removal of applied load,

 the object come back to its original position, it is the property of a solid material that allows it to restore its
shape after an external load is removed while in case of plastic deformation the object does not come back
to its original position. It is the property of a solid substance that allows it to keep its deformed shape even
when the external load is removed.

Problem Solving (3 pts each) :

1. Find the force that will deflect a spring with a spring constant of 300 N/mm. at a distance of 10 mm.
(Lim)
