Natural Length Extension Stretched Length No relationship between Force and stretched length Force is proportional to extension
Hooke’s Law (Simple Version) Hooke’s law says the EXTENSION is proportional to FORCE Extension (m) Force (N) Spring constant (N/m) “Stiffness”
Hooke’s Law (The one you need) Hooke’s law says the EXTENSION is proportional to FORCE Extension (m) Tension (N) Natural Length (m) Young’s Modulus (N) “Modulus of elasticity”
