hooke's law in English

noun
1
a law stating that the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid.
Hooke's law is based on the observation that, for many materials, there is a linear relationship between stress (force per unit area) and strain. Materials that obey Hooke's law when stressed are defined as being elastic.
