Hooke's law can be mathematically defined by the equation:
\[ F = -kx \]
where:
- \( F \) is the force applied to the spring,
- \( k \) is the spring constant (a measure of the spring's stiffness),
- \( x \) is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position (the amount the spring is stretched or compressed).
The negative sign indicates that the force exerted by the spring is in the opposite direction to the displacement.
If you provide the MathML images, I can help you identify if one of them represents this equation.
