    Hooke's Law states that the extension of an elastic body is directly proportional to the applied force up to a certain limit. Specifically, Hooke observed that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the applied force. This relationship can be represented mathematically with an equation and graphically by plotting the force and extension on a graph.

    Hooke's Law

    Robert Hooke (1635–1703) was an English scientist


    whose research and
    experiments ranged from astronomy to biology to
    physics; he is particularly
    recognized for the observations he made while using a
    microscope and for
    ‘Hooke's Law’ of elasticity.”

    Hooke's law states that for an elastic body the force


    applied is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to the
    extension of the body provided that its elastic limit
    is not exceeded.

    Since the force and extension of the spring are


    related to each other. An equation can be used to
    represent this.
    Such relationship can be represented on a graph.
