  2. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

    Mendel's second law, the law of independent assortment, states that different traits will be inherited independently by the offspring. Menzerath's law , or Menzerath–Altmann law (named after Paul Menzerath and Gabriel Altmann ), is a linguistic law according to which the increase of a linguistic construct results in a decrease of its ...

    This relationship is known as Hooke's law. A geometry-dependent version of the idea [a] was first formulated by Robert Hooke in 1675 as a Latin anagram, "ceiiinosssttuv". He published the answer in 1678: "Ut tensio, sic vis" meaning "As the extension, so the force", [5] [6] a linear relationship commonly referred to as Hooke's law.

  6. Constitutive equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutive_equation

    The first constitutive equation (constitutive law) was developed by Robert Hooke and is known as Hooke's law.It deals with the case of linear elastic materials.Following this discovery, this type of equation, often called a "stress-strain relation" in this example, but also called a "constitutive assumption" or an "equation of state" was commonly used.

  7. Quantum harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_harmonic_oscillator

    H is a coherent state—a quantum state that approximates the classical trajectory. The quantum harmonic oscillator is the quantum-mechanical analog of the classical harmonic oscillator . Because an arbitrary smooth potential can usually be approximated as a harmonic potential at the vicinity of a stable equilibrium point , it is one of the ...

  8. Wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_equation

    Another physical setting for derivation of the wave equation in one space dimension uses Hooke's law. In the theory of elasticity, Hooke's law is an approximation for certain materials, stating that the amount by which a material body is deformed (the strain) is linearly related to the force causing the deformation (the stress).

    Generally, at constant temperature, the bulk modulus is defined by: = (). The easiest way to get an equation of state linking P and V is to assume that K is constant, that is to say, independent of pressure and deformation of the solid, then we simply find Hooke's law.
