Yes, in theory. But it is only valid up to a certain point of stress, after which the molecular bonds starts to break down. In reality, some materials are so difficult to stretch (so brittle) that it is almost impossible to apply Hooke's law to them. (Our school teacher use to say: dunk a biscuit into tea and then try to stretch it)

Why do spring balances show wrong reading after they has been used for a long time?
Its all to do with Hookes law................
Is hooke's law valid for all materials?
No, only for elastic materials and only for forces which are within the material's elasticity.
What does Hookes law relate too?
Hello jack cena
What law explainss the relationship between a spring's change in length and the force it exerts?
Hookes law
What was Robert hookes main contribution to science?
Hooke's law of Elasticity.
How do we calculate the restoring force according to Hookes law?
According to the Hooke's law formula, the force is proportional to what measurement
Hookes law hold well up to?
Hooke's law holds up well within the elastic limits of the solid.
How do you answer hookes law experiment?
Hooke's law of elasticity is an approximation that states that the extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the load applied to it.
What does hookes law relate to?
Hooke's Law relates to the elasticity of elastic objects, such as metal springs, and how they stretch in proportion to the force that acts on them.
What kind of energy does a mousetrap car use?
Potential and Kinetic energy, Mechanical energy, and Hookes law.
Does a spring which is not in its elastic region obey Hookes law?
No, by definition Hooke's law relates to linear elastic only; when outside the elastic region it does not apply.
