Question

A spring that has a non-linear relationship between force and displacement obeys Hooke’s Law. Is this true or false?

Answer 1

Hooke's Law states that springs have a linear relationship between force and displacement, as follows:

`F=-kx`

Then, if the spring has a non-linear relationship between force and displacement, then it does not obey the Hooke's Law.

Therefore, the statement is:

`\text{False}`
