why is it important for us to study hooke's law?

Answer 1

To be perfectly honest about it, the first thing I thought upon seeing your question was, "What is Hooke"s Law?
So I entered that question into the search bar.
The first website I opened was the one below and I still don't know.

Not meaning to be pert about your question, but unless you are studying physics or you are trying to put a size 14 women's body in a size 4 I don't know that the average person would care . Unless of course the other option is the spring on your gate has exceeded it's spring constant.
Good Luck to finding someone with the same common interest and intelligence.

Hooke’s law relates to springs and the force which the spring exerts. The simple answer to your question is: Hooke’s law helps us understand how a spring behaves when it is stretched and compacted.

Here is a setup for understanding Hooke’s law:

Imagine a spring hanging “down” from a fixed point.
Imagine a block on the end of the spring.
Imagine the block moving up and down as the spring moves up and down.
Imagine this happening in a gravity-free environment. (So in other words, the block isn't really hanging down.)Therefore you’re not measuring the role that gravity plays in moving the spring up and down. The spring exerts an effect on the block. It is the spring and its “springiness” that we’re concerned with.

Focus on 3 points of the cycle:
The two end points, when the spring is MOST stretched out, and when the spring is MOST compacted.
The midpoint, which is midway between the other two points.

Hooke’s law states that the force that the spring exerts is opposite to the block’s displacement.
In other words, at the midpoint, the force is the least.
At the endpoints when the spring is stretched to the max and compacted to the mass, the force of the spring is the greatest.

Answer 3

Hooke's law is important in physics since it helps determine the elasticity of objects. It must be of some use since its been mentioned every year that I have taken physics. It also helps to calculate elastic potential energy. Good Luck :)
