THE Hooke's law it is based on a specific movement created by the spring. Through this study it was put on paper how this system is developed.

The spring is the object that can be deformed by a force and after that it returns to its original shape when this force is withdrawn.
There are several forms of molam, but the best known would be the helical metal. Springs are indispensable and important in almost all mechanical devices, both simple and complex.
THE Hooke's law demonstrates that a spring has an elastic constant called k. This constant is obeyed up to the limit where the deformation of the spring becomes permanent.
How far the Hooke's law it is valid, if the spring is stretched or compressed and returning to the starting position, of equilibrium.
F = -k.x
k = proportionality constant
x = independent variable.
With this equation it can be concluded that the force is negative, as opposed to the force that is applied. And the greater the elongation of the spring, the greater the intensity of the force opposite to that already applied.
There is no magic in the shape of the coil spring in moving like a spring. The elasticity or softness of the object is the fundamental property of the thread with which the spring is made.
A straight wire that is metal will also return to its original shape after being stretched and twisted. But spiral wire uses much less space, making it more convenient to use on machines.

When a material has a certain force exerted on it, the material can stretch or compress as a result of this force. An example of this is rubber.
In mechanics, the importance is in the tension, which is defined as the force that is applied per unit area. This unit is represented by the Greek letter sigma.
The magnitude of elongation/compression that is produced as the material responds to applied stress is called strain. The unit is represented by the letter epsilon do Greek alphabet.
The deformation measurement is made by the ratio between the length variation and the initial length. All material reacts in a particular way to stress.
Engineers need to know how to choose subjects that predictably behave under an expected stress. The resulting deformation in almost all materials depends on the chemical bonds within it.
It is on the chemical structure and its bonds that the rigidity of the material depends. What will happen when the voltage is removed will depend on how far the atoms travel.
It happens when the tension on the material is removed and it returns to its normal dimensions.
It is the force exerted on the material that causes tension in the material. This tension is so great that the material does not return to its original dimensions with the removal of this tension. The smallest value of the plastic strain unit is called the elastic limit of the material. .
Every spring used in operating machines is made so that there is no plastic deformation.
In the 17th century, the physical Robert Hooke he realized that the stress-strain curve for many materials had a region of linear behavior.
Within some limits, the force used to deform an elastic object such as a metal spring was directly proportional to the deformation of the spring.
Generally in the calculation of this share of the Hooke's law, the minus sign is added. To signify that the restoring force, due to the spring, is in the opposite direction to the force that caused the displacement.
Pulling a spring downwards will cause a downward extension of the spring which will result in an upward force due to the spring.
The direction of restoring force is specified when addressing problems in mechanical systems involving elasticity.

Young's modulus, also known as elastic modulus created by physicist Thomas Young in the 17th century, measures the strength of a material with the function of being elastically deformed.
The more rigid the material, the greater its Young's modulus.
