Hooke's Law Formula Elements

Variables
Young's Modulus
Young's Modulus is a mechanical property of linear elastic solid substances. It describes the relationship between longitudinal stress and longitudinal strain.
Symbol: E
Measurement: Stiffness ConstantUnit: N/m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Load
Load is the instantaneous load applied perpendicular to the specimen cross section.
Symbol: Wload
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Elongation
Elongation is defined as the length at breaking point expressed as a percentage of its original length (i.e. length at rest).
Symbol: δl
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Area of Base
Area of Base is the total area of footing.
Symbol: ABase

How to Evaluate Hooke's Law?

Hooke's Law evaluator uses Young's Modulus = (Load*Elongation)/(Area of Base*Initial Length) to evaluate the Young's Modulus, The Hooke's law states that stress is directly proportional to strain within the elastic limit of that material. Young's Modulus is denoted by E symbol.

How to evaluate Hooke's Law using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Hooke's Law, enter Load (Wload), Elongation (δl), Area of Base (ABase) & Initial Length (l0) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Hooke's Law

What is the formula to find Hooke's Law?
The formula of Hooke's Law is expressed as Young's Modulus = (Load*Elongation)/(Area of Base*Initial Length). Here is an example- 1.028571 = (3600*0.02)/(10*7).
How to calculate Hooke's Law?
With Load (Wload), Elongation (δl), Area of Base (ABase) & Initial Length (l0) we can find Hooke's Law using the formula - Young's Modulus = (Load*Elongation)/(Area of Base*Initial Length).
What are the other ways to Calculate Young's Modulus?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Young's Modulus-
  • Young's Modulus=Stress/StrainOpenImg
Can the Hooke's Law be negative?
No, the Hooke's Law, measured in Stiffness Constant cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Hooke's Law?
Hooke's Law is usually measured using the Newton per Meter[N/m] for Stiffness Constant. Newton per Millimeter[N/m], Kilonewton per Millimeter[N/m] are the few other units in which Hooke's Law can be measured.
