What is Hooke's Law, and what is the equation for it?

• Hooke's Law states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to it, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded. The equation for Hooke's Law is F = -ke.

• Hooke's Law states that the compression of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to it, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded. The equation for Hooke's Law is F = ke.
• Hooke's Law states that the extension of a spring is inversely proportional to the force applied to it, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded. The equation for Hooke's Law is F = -ke.

• Hooke's Law states that the compression of a spring is inversely proportional to the force applied to it, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded. The equation for Hooke's Law is F = ke.
• Hooke's Law states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to it, regardless of the elastic limit. The equation for Hooke's Law is F = -kx.

What is the spring constant, and how is it measured?

• The spring constant is a measure of the stiffness of a spring and is measured in units of length per unit of force (m/N).
• The spring constant is a measure of the stiffness of a spring and is measured in units of force per unit of extension (N/m).
• The spring constant is a measure of the elasticity of a spring and is measured in units of force per unit of time (N/s).
• The spring constant is a measure of the flexibility of a spring and is measured in units of length per unit of time (m/s).
• The spring constant is a measure of the strength of a spring and is measured in units of force per unit of mass (N/kg).
