Hook's law correlates the:

Correct answer: D. Stress and strain

  • A. Force and displacement
  • B. Force and extension
  • C. Force and compression
  • D. Stress and strain

Explanation

Hooke's Law is a principle of physics that states the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that material. Mathematically, it can be expressed as Stress/Strain = Constant. This means that the material will return to its original shape after the stress is removed, as long as the elastic limit is not surpassed. The other options mention relationships that are not the fundamental focus of Hooke's Law. While force can influence displacement, extension, and compression, Hooke's Law specifically addresses the proportional relationship between stress and strain.
