Elastic behaviour of solids as per Hooke’s law can be understood by the minute displacements of their component molecules and atoms from usual positions are proportional to the force that leads to that displacement.

Theory
2.1) Definition: Hooke’s law states that, the force required to compress or expand a spring to some distance that is the comparatively minute deformation in spring to certain distance is directly proportional to the displacement or size of the deformation (Fig.1)
In simpler words, the law is a theory of physics that says that the force required to extend or compress a spring by a certain distance is directly proportional to that distance.
Also, when the force used to compress or extend the object attached to the spring is disconnected it would go back to its original shape.
Hooke’s law is the first classical example of an explanation of elasticity – which is the property of an object or material which causes it to be restored to its original shape after distortion. The phenomenon to recoil to normal shape after undergoing distortion can be called as “restoring force”. In the purview of the Hooke’s Law, this restoring force is proportional to the quantity of “stretch”

Different springs were taken that were Tension, Compressed, series combination and Parallel Combination and when their spring constant and the graph was plotted between force(N) and displacement(x), it showed all the springs followed the hooks law that is the graph was linear that is the force applied was directly proportional to the displacement. In case of tensed, compressed and series combination springs it was found that the points close to the origin were very close to each other. On calculating the spring constant for the parallel and series combination, the value of spring constant(K) in case of parallel combination was found to be more than in case of the series

    1. How do you adjust the pulling force of the mousetrap? Adjusting the length of the snapper will change the pulling force—making something move as it goes in a certain direction. Making the snapper on the mousetrap longer will decrease the pulling force and a shorter snapper will increase it.…

    In this video olympic swimming athlete Bennet Clark demonstrates a race start with the help of his Cal swim team coach and the laws of physics! Clark’s dive can be related back to Newtons 1st law of motion. This law states that “An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force” In this video the athlete is at rest when he is first on the starting block. He is being acted upon by normal force between him and the block.…

    2. Length-tension relationship states the amount of the tension generated by the contraction of the muscle will vary on the length of the muscles at rest. The beginning and end of a contraction will be considered a weak-contraction or too stretched which means the myosin is to close to the Z-discs or the myosin overlaps which does not allow a correct cross-bridge to occur. When the contraction is at regular resting length will produce the greatest force when muscles contract.…

    One of nature’s finest peculiarities is the mantis shrimp, a crustacean closely related to the pistol shrimp. The pistol shrimp occupy the family Alphidae, while mantis shrimp are the most notable part of the broader order Stomatopoda (Duffy, 2003). Nonetheless, the groups are considered evolutionary brothers and the traits and instincts of the organisms are closely related, as both have the strength and agility to create cavitation bubbles as a direct result of their strike (Patek, 2004). In addition, both are within subcategories of the class Malacostraca. Stomatopoda is an aquatic order dwelling primarily in colonies in tropical shallow waters.…

    When the spring is not stretched and the weight on the string is the highest it can be from the ground the gravitational potential energy is at its maximum amount and the spring potential energy is at a minimum since it is not stretched. Kinetic at this point is at zero. Next, as the weight starts to drop the gravitational potential energy begins to decrease while the spring’s potential energy increases as it begins to stretch. During the middle the kinetic energy is at its maximum since the kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Lastly, as the weight nears the ground, the gravitational potential energy is at its minimum since the weight is as close as possible to the ground, the springs potential energy reaches its maximum since the spring is as stretched as it will go with the specific weight attached and the kinetic energy returns to zero.…

    The aim of the Stress Concentration Experiment was to observe the stress concentration factor/feature for a set of mild steel specimens with various irregularities in each sample. These irregularities or “stress-raisers” include any notches and holes which vary in size (radius) and placement on the specimen (edge notches or holes) that may have an effect on the flow of stress. With the use of a Hounsfield 50 kN electrically operated tensile testing machine and 12 1-mm thick mild steel test samples the experiment shows how any stress-raiser within a sample will affect the distribution or flow of stress within the specimen resulting in a relatively high concentration of stress near any irregularities. Hence, there will be greater stress around…

    The demarcation problem between science and pseudoscience is one of the Gordian knot problems in the field of philosophy of science. Several proposals have been made in this regard. Karl Popper proposes a ‘falsification principle’ that aims to test the scientific status of a theory. Kuhn has brought forward a claim against this principle that it is only applicable to occasional revolutionary parts rather than the most part of science. However, another attempt has been made by Lakatos in which a progressive research program draws the distinction between science and pseudoscience.…

    To understand the force of 1N it is looked at in the formula: 1 Newton= 1kg x 1ms-2 of acceleration. Force is a vector which is a directional arrow; meaning that force is only applied in conjunction with direction. An object is considered to have a net force acting on it if there is an unbalanced force, e.g. 20N force right and a 50N force left would result in a 30N force left. Newton’s Law Three states ‘For every action, there is an equal and opposite re-action’ (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2015).…
