This document discusses Hooke's law of elasticity and provides examples of its application. [1] Hooke's law states that the extension of a spring is proportional to the applied load as long as the elastic limit is not exceeded. [2] Materials that obey this law are known as linear-elastic or "Hookean" materials. [3] The document then provides the formula for Hooke's law, F=kx, and gives two examples of using it to calculate spring force and spring constant.
