hooke's law Flashcards
1
Q
what does Hooke’s law state?
A
Hooke’s law states that the stress within an elastic solid is proportional to the strain responsible for it Hooke’s law states that extension is directly proportional to force
2
Q
what is the formula for Hooke’s law?
A
force = spring constant x extension
3
Q
what is the limit of proportionality?
A
is a point beyond which behaviour no longer conforms to Hooke’s law
4
Q
what is elastic limit?
A
is a point beyond which the spring will no longer return to its original shape when the force is removed
5
Q
what is the formula for work done?
A
work done = force x distance
