Hooke's Law describes the relationship between the amount of stretch of a material or object (like a spring) and the force which causes that stretch. Often this is a linear relationship (or at least within a certain range of stretch it remains nearly linear). If you are operating in the linear range, then it can be utilized to determine how much force is being applied, or predict how much some material will stretch, given a known force. see this Hyperphysicslink for more info.
