Elasticity
Author : Abel Carenas Velamazán
Hooke ' s law of elasticity or Hooke ' s law establishes the relationship between elongation or longitudinal stretch and the applied force . Elasticity is the physical property in which objects are capable of changing shape when a deformation force acts on an object and subsequently the object has the ability to return to its original shape when the cause that causes the deformation ceases .
The applied force is proportional to the deformation produced and the constant of proportionality is K , which depends on each elastic material .
A body is hanging from a spring , so that the length of the same when hanging a body of 6N weight is 5 cm . If it is added 5N more , it becomes 8 cm . What is the spring constant of the spring ?
