Hooke's Law states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium position, typically expressed in the form:
\[ F = -kx \]
where:
- \( F \) is the force exerted by the spring,
- \( k \) is the spring constant (a measure of the stiffness of the spring),
- \( x \) is the displacement from the equilibrium position (positive if the spring is compressed and negative if it is extended).
If you can provide the specific options you're referring to, I can help identify which one aligns with Hooke's law.
