This document outlines key concepts of elasticity: 1) An elastic body regains its original shape and size after being stretched or compressed. 2) According to Hooke's law, the extension (e) of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force (F). 3) Young's modulus relates tensile stress to tensile strain, and the work done on springs and elastic strings can be calculated as one-half the force times the extension or one-half the elastic constant times the extension squared.
