Hooke\'s law |
|
Answer» Stress/strain = constant According to Hooke\'s law strain produced in any body, is directly proportional to stress applied within the elastic limit. Moreover, For a spring, F needed to extend or compress by some distance X is proportional to that distance. That is,F=- kX , where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring: its stiffness, and X is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.Assumption:1. This law is true only for linear elastic bodies. |
