In terms of the spring model, Hooke's Law says that the restoring <strong>for</strong>ce due to<br />

a spring is proportional to the length that the spring is stretched, and acts in<br />

the opposite direction. Mathematically, Hooke's Law is written as F =-kx,<br />

where F is the <strong>for</strong>ce, k is the spring constant, and x is the amount of particle<br />

displacement. Hooke's law is represented graphically it the bottom. Please<br />

note that the spring is applying a <strong>for</strong>ce to the particle that is equal and<br />

opposite to the <strong>for</strong>ce pulling down on the particle.
