Hooke's Law

If F is force, k is spring constant and x is extension, Hooke's Law tells us that:

• F=k/x
• x=Fk
• k=Fx
• F=kx

Hooke's Law fails when a material reaches its:

• breakdown
• elastic limit
• end of tether
• fracture stress

A graph of extension against force for an elastic material is:

• A downward curve
• An upward curve
• A straight line from any point on the x and y axis
• A straight line from the origin
