Question

Which is a correct description of Hooke’s law?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.The force applied to a spring equals the product of the spring constant and the displacement.

Explanation:

Hooke's law states the relationship between force applied to a spring, spring constant and displacement of the spring, as follows:

$F=kx$

where

F is the force applied

k is the spring constant (which represents the stiffness of the spring)

x is the displacement of the spring relative to its equilibrium position (compression or stretching)

From the equation above, we see that the correct answer is

1.The force applied to a spring equals the product of the spring constant and the displacement.

Answer 2

1. The force applied to a spring equals the product of the spring constant and the displacement.

F = k*d.
