Hooke’s Law

 Hooke’s Law
 Hooke’s law, law of elasticity discovered by the English scientist Robert
Hooke in 1660, which states that, for relatively small deformations of an
object, the displacement or size of the deformation is directly proportional
to the deforming force or load. Under these conditions the object returns
to its original shape and size upon removal of the load.

 In stress strain curve upto elastic limit stress is linearly with strain or we
can say stress is directly proportional to strain. Hooke’s Law defines the
linear relationship between stress and strain within the elastic region.

 E can be used only if a material has linear-elastic behavior.

 It says that if you apply a force to a spring, then the force stretches
spring. And if you don't stretch too much, Hooke's law says that the
amount of force you apply is proportional to the stretch. So, that means
that if you apply twice the force, you get twice the stretch.

 When you apply a force to a material it can extend. The extension is the
amount the length has increased by.

 The law states that

 within the elastic limit, the extension caused by a force in a spring is
proportional to the force acting on the spring

 Deformation
 It occurs when we apply a force to an object to change its shape.
Applying a force to an object can cause it to either:
 o stretch - the object increases in length

o compress - the object decreases in length

In general, the greater the force applied, the more deformed an object will become.

However, not all materials behave in the same way. Elastic materials will return to their
original shape once the force is removed, whereas inelastic materials will change shape
permanently and may even break.

 Spring
 is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its
original shape after the force is removed.
 come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring
is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all
moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing
car engines.
o Displacement- It is the distance from the original length of spring
and the distance when u stretch it.
