In the works of nature, the deepest discoveries show us the greatest excellencies.
— Robert Hooke.
What is Hooke’s Law?
Hooke’s law is a law of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance x scales linearly with respect to that distance. That is, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring: its stiffness, and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.
