Robert Hooke studied the uniaxial force required to extend springs and long straight wires and found it to be proportional to ... This linear elastic response has been formalized into the ...

Purpose: To investigate experimentally the extension of a spring and how it is related to the applied force, and recall that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied ...
