what is hooke 's law?

Solution

Hooke’s law states that strain produced on a string is directly proportional to the stress applied to it. This law is obeyed by many materials as long as the load doesn’t exceed the materials elastic limit. This implies Hooke’s law is applicable until the stress-strain curve is linear (i.e. when they are directly proportional to each other).
