In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, Fs = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the ...

Military booby trap firing device from USSR (normally connected to a tripwire) showing spring-loaded firing pin. A spring is a device consisting of an elastic but largely rigid material (typically metal) bent or molded into a form (especially a coil) that can return into shape after being compressed or extended.

Spring–mass system in equilibrium (A), compressed (B) and stretched (C) states. When a spring is stretched or compressed by a mass, the spring develops a restoring force.
Dec 11, 2020 · What is Spring Force. When a metal spring is stretched or compressed, it is displaced from its equilibrium position. As a result, it experiences a restoring force that tends to retract the spring back to its original position. This force is called the spring force.
Mar 12, 2024 · This is called Hooke’s law force, or spring force: \[F=-k x. \nonumber \] Here, \(F\) is the restoring force, \(x\) is the displacement from equilibrium or deformation , and \(k\) is a constant related to the difficulty in deforming the system.
Feb 16, 2015 · Hooke's Law is a principle of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance.
Hooke's law is an empirical physical law describing the linear relationship between the restorative force exerted by a spring and the distance by which the spring is displaced from its equilibrium length. A spring which obeys Hooke's law is said to be Hookean.
