I suspect that when I was a teacher, I went for the knee-jerk “it’s useful if you want to be an engineer” response, or something similar. This isn’t a very satisfying answer, but I never really had ...

Rearranging the Hooke's Law equation Past paper trend: Questions about Hooke’s Law often ask you to calculate the force, spring constant or extension. How to answer: Revise Hooke's Law.

When I get excited about a movie, my only way of calming down is to do a little physics. That explains why I found myself pondering Hooke's law and Young's modulus while watching a trailer for ...

Another is Hoskins, who embodies the failure of Hooke’s friends and family to preserve his legacy. It was Newton, of course, who ultimately took credit for gravity. People can judge for themselves ...

The English polymath Robert Hooke is known for his investigations into life too small for us to see. But his contributions to physics and other disciplines were significant too.

U.S. Judge Questions ‘Small World’ Among Law Firms in Bankruptcy Ethics Scandal A federal judge expressed concern about close ties among bankruptcy professionals handling the fallout from ex ...

Hooke’s law states that the extension of a spring is in direct proportion to the load applied to it – a law which many materials obey and which culminated in the development of a balance spring.

In 1660, Hooke discovered a physical law that would later be named after him. Hooke's law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring is proportional to the distance it is stretched.

Scientists have detected the sun emitting an extraordinary amount of gamma rays — light wavelengths known to carry the most energy of any other wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
