Hooke's law:

Within the elastic limit, the deformation produced by a force is proportional to the force.

In other (my) words:

As long as you don't stretch a spring too much, pulling twice as hard will increase the length of the spring by twice as much.

One application of Hooke's law is a spring-operated weighing device (tube spring balance).
