Hooke's Law describes the relationship between force F and elastic deflection x in a spring according to the following equation: $F = k x$ . Which type of mathematical model is used in Hooke's Law?
A) Linear model
B) Nonlinear model
C) Exponential model
D) Logarithmic model

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hooke's Law is represented by a linear equation where the force $F$ is directly proportional to the displacement $x$, with $k$ being the constant of proportionality (spring constant). This defines a straight-line relationship, characteristic of linear models.
