Hooke’s Law Flashcards
1
Q
Equation for hooke’s law
A
F = k X e
Applied force = stiffness constant of the spring X extension of the spring
F = Newtons
k = Newtons per meter
e = meters
2
Q
If extension is in mm what units is the stiffness constant?
A
K = N/mm
3
Q
Define hooke’s Law
A
When the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the applied force up to the limit of proportionality
