46+ Hooke's Law Formula Triangle Background. Many materials obey this law as long as the work done on the system equals the area under the graph or the area of the triangle. Pulling or pushing a spring away from its equilibrium (resting) position requires a force to be applied.
Many materials obey this law as long as the work done on the system equals the area under the graph or the area of the triangle.
Hooke's law is applicable not only to coil springs like the one shown here, but also to the bending of metal and some other materials, the stretching of wires like guitar strings, the stretching of rubber bands, and the stretching and compressing of chemical bonds. Hooke's law, law of elasticity that relates the size of the deformation of an object to the deforming force or load. The law of sines can be used to solve oblique triangles. Hooke's law is a linear relationship.
