Question

According to the Hooke’s law formula, the force is proportional to what measurement?

Answer 1

According to the Hooke’s law formula, the force is proportional to the displacement of the spring.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Hooke's law is related to the force of the spring which is directly related to the distance when the spring is stretched upon. The deformation of the spring is directly related to the displacement it experiences.

Therefore Option A, B, and D are irrelevant. For example : consider the spring which is found in a pen and the distance it travels depends upon the force given by the user at the tip which makes spring to deform.

Answer 2

According to the Hooke’s law formula, the force is proportional to the displacement of the spring.  (C)
