An Introduction to Hooke’s Law

A detailed tutorial on how to use Hooke’s law. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to use Hooke’s law for reference.

Hooke’s law is a mathematical law that solves for elasticity, that is, how far a spring can be stretched. Hooke’s law states that the extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the load added to it as long as this load does not exceed the elastic limit. In a mathematical sense, this is expressed as F = -k * x, where F is the force, x is the displacement of the end of the spring, and k is the force constant.
