When a force, F, is applied to a string of Wire, an extension, e, is produced and the more force applied,

the more extension produced in the wire, which Shows that the extension produced in the wire
is.directily proportional to the Force applied.

If the force is removed, the wire or string returns to its original size or shape

An elastic constant is defined as force required to produce a unit extension

An elastic is the maximum stress which a material can attain before

Permanent deformation. When an elastic limit of a solid is exceeded, the

Material can no longer retain its original size or shape when the applied

Torce is removed. A small force will produce a large extension.
