| Description: | Tutorial for high school physics on Hooke's Law. Good general introduction. " Hooke's law is the relationship between the force exerted on the mass and its position x. Consider a object with mass m, that is on a frictionless surface and is attached to a spring with spring constant k. The force the spring exerts on the mass depends on how much the spring is stretched or compressed, and so this force is a function of the mass's position. Any object that is initially displaced slightly from a stable equilibrium point will oscillate about its equilibrium position. It will, in general, experience a restoring force that depends on the displacement x from equilibrium." |
