Deforming Objects and Relationship between Force and Extension

The video tutorial explains how objects can be deformed by applying forces in various ways, such as stretching, compressing, and bending. It distinguishes between elastic and inelastic deformation, where elastic deformation allows objects to return to their original shape, while inelastic does not. The tutorial also covers the relationship between force and extension in springs, introducing the formula F=KE, where F is force, K is the spring constant, and E is the extension. An example calculation demonstrates how to find the spring constant using given data.

What happens to an object when forces are applied along its axis away from the center?

Explain the difference between elastic and inelastic deformation.

How is the extension of a spring defined when a force is applied?

What is the relationship between force and extension for an elastic spring?

Calculate the spring constant if a force of 4 newtons stretches a spring by 0.007 meters.
