Hooke's Law for Force

Hooke's law is a principle of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance.

The force equals the spring constant times the distance.

Formula

QuantityVariable["F", "Force"] == QuantityVariable["k", "SpringConstant"]*QuantityVariable["x", "Length"]

symbol	description	physical quantity
