The diagram defines all of the important dimensions and terms for a coil spring.
View Hooke's Law Spring Diagram Background. Hooke's law says that the force produced by a spring is proportional to the displacement (linear amount of stretching or compressing) of that spring each spring has its own force constant. Hooke's law is a principle of physics that states that the that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance.

If stretched beyond the elastic limit, the spring will not return to its original length. The way in which an object deforms depends on its dimensions, the material it is made of, the size of the force and direction of the force. Students will create a hypothesis and proceed to test it.
If when the force is removed, the object returns to its original shape, it.
For each snapshot above the downward pull of gravity is balanced by the upward pull of the spring. Hooke's law is a law of physics that states that the force (f) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, fs = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness). It always acts to restore the spring toward equilibrium. Learn vocabulary, terms and more with flashcards, games and other study tools.
