hooke's law is one of the basic laws of mechanics. the law of elasticity applicable to all solid materials, which states that: within the elastic limit, the deformation of an object is proportional to the external force causing the deformation. this law was discovered by british scientist hooke, so it is called hooke's law.

hooke's law:

force: f_x = -K(x-x₀)

here

F_x = force

k = elastic coefficient

x = deformation variable

x₀ = equilibrium position
