Hooke's Law of elasticity is an approximation that states that the amount by which a material body is deformed (the strain) is linearly related to the force causing the deformation (the stress).

Formula

Force : F_x=-k(x-x_o),

Spring Force Constant : k=F_x/(x-x_o),

Distance from Equilibrium : x_o=(F_x/k)+x,

Spring Equilibrium Position : x=x_o-(f_x/h)

where,

F_x = Force,

k = Spring Force Constant,

x =Distance from Equilibrium,

x₀ = Spring Equilibrium Position.

Imporance of Hookes law

Hookes law is important because it helps us understand how a stretchy object will behave when it is stretched or compacted

Hooke's law states that within the elastic limit, stress developed is directly proportional to the strain produced in a body. According to the Hookes law, if strain increases the stress will increase and vice-versa. The Hooke's law is applicable to all elastic substances.
