Hooke's law of elasticity is used to describe how a material body is deformed by stress (at its simplest). Imagine a weight suspended on a spring. The spring will lengthen according to Hooke's law. The law has application in civil and mechanical engineering wherever materials are placed under stress.

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 is the definition of hookes law is science physics?

Hooke's Law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by a distance is directly proportional to that distance. Mathematically, it is expressed as F = kx, where F is the force applied, k is the spring constant, and x is the distance the spring is stretched or compressed.

What was Roberts hookes law?

Robert Hooke's law states that within elastic limit, the strain produced is directly proportional to the stress applied. Hence Stess/strain = constant This constant is known as Modulus of elasticity.


How do scientists use forensics?

Well, you can't really "use" forensics.The word 'forensic' means applied to the law, or applied to legal matter.So, that means that forensic science is science that is used - or applied - to the law, or to legal matter.

No, by definition Hooke's law relates to linear elastic only; when outside the elastic region it does not apply.
