Springs

The video tutorial explains the behavior of springs under compression and tension, comparing them to bridges. It introduces Hooke's Law, which states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied, as long as the elastic limit is not exceeded. The video contrasts this with the nonlinear behavior of rubber bands. It also covers the concept of equilibrium in springs and how energy is stored in them, providing a formula for calculating elastic potential energy.
