    Hooke's Law states that the force applied to an elastic object is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. Small displacements of molecules in solids can be explained by Hooke's Law. The amount of deformation of a spring or elastic object is directly proportional to the applied force based on the formula F=kx, where F is the force, k is the spring constant, and x is the deformation.

    HOOKE’S LAW

    Hooke’s Law
    • for relatively small
    deformations of an
    object, the
    displacement or size of
    the deformation is
    directly proportional to
    the deforming force or
    load
    Hooke’s Law
    • Elastic behaviour of solids according to
    Hooke’s law can be explained by the fact
    that small displacements of their
    constituent molecules, atoms, or ions from
    normal positions is also proportional to the
    force that causes the displacement
    Hooke’s Law
    • The concept of Hooke’s Law is that the
    amount of force applied to a spring or
    elastic object is proportional to the amount
    of deformation (length of stretch or
    compression). The greater the force
    applied to an elastic object, the more
    deformation (stretch or compression) there
    is. With less force applied, there will be
    less deformation in the spring.
    Stress
    the force on unit
    areas within a
    material that develops
    as a result of the
    externally applied
    force. Strain
    the relative
    deformation produced
    by stress. For
    relatively small
    Formula
    F=kx
    Where:
    F = force applied
    k = force constant
    x = amount of deformation

    To determine whether there is a stretch or


    compression in the spring, we use a method of signs. If
    the spring is compressed, both “x” and “F” are
    negative(-) and when stretched both are positive(+).
    Sample problems
    1. What is the force required
    to stretch a spring whose
    constant value is 100 N/m by
    an amount of 0.50 m?
    Solution:
    1. What is the force required to stretch a spring whose
    constant value is 100 N/m by an amount of 0.50 m?
    Given:
    F=?
    k=100 N/m
    x= 0.50 m
    F=kx
    F=(100N/m)(0.50m)
    F=50 N
    Sample problems
    2. A force of 100 N is
    stretching a spring by 0.2 m.
    Calculate the force constant.
    Solution:
    2. A force of 100 N is stretching a spring by 0.2 m.
    Calculate the force constant.

    Given: Force F = 100 N,


    Extension x = 0.2 m,
    Force constant k = ?

    k = F/x
    k = (100N)/(0.2m)
    k = 500 N/m.
    END!
