Which equation correctly defines Hooke's law?

Question

Question 2 options:

f spring= mg

F spring= k△x

F spring= k△t

f spring= kg

Answer 1

The correct equation that defines Hooke's law is:

F spring = kΔx

Where:

• \( F_{spring} \) is the force exerted by the spring,
• \( k \) is the spring constant (a measure of the stiffness of the spring),
• \( Δx \) is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position.
