hookes law

Question 1

what does hooke`s law state

Answer 1

it states that the extension is directly proportional to the applied load up to a limit known as the limit of proportionality

Question 2

what is natural length

Answer 2

is the length of the spring when no stretching or compressing forces are applied

Question 3

whats extension

Answer 3

the difference between the stretched length of a spring and its natural length

Question 4

what is Hooke`s law

Answer 4

its the behaviour of metal wires and springs when they are stretched or compressed the difference between its extended length and its natural length

Question 5

whats hooke`s law equation

Answer 5

f= k x e

Question 6

what does f mean in hookes equation
what about k
what about e
whats k equal

Answer 6

f is the applied force
e is the extension in cm
k is the spring constant in n/cm or n/mm
it is equal to the gradient of the line

Question 7

what is k sometimes called

Answer 7

the stiffness constant or Hooke`s law constant

Question 8

what does plastic mean in Hooke`s law

Answer 8

materials return to their original length when the stretching force is moved

Question 9

what does elastic mean in Hooke`s law

Answer 9

materials don`t return to their original length when the stretching force is moved
