- Hooke’s Law In Exercises 65-68, use Hooke’s Law, which states that the distance a spring stretches (or compresses) from its natural, or equilibrium, length varies directly as the applied force on the spring. A force of 220 newtons stretches a spring 0.12 meter. What force stretches the spring 0.16 meter?arrow_forwardThe position vector r describes the path of an object moving in space.
