    and without it I cannot get any of my assignments done. In the process of using it, I always wonder how a simple spring within a pen, plays a major role in the functioning of the pen. This led to my interest in finding out that the concept of Hooke’s Law is responsible for this. The force created when the end of a pen is pushed leads to the extension of the spring

    example: The rope breaking - there’s nothing to save you down there, so why do so many people put their lives in a piece of elastic? Bungee Jumping relies on the restoring force of the elastic to protect the jumper from the fall below. Because of the Law of Conservation of Energy, the gravitational potential energy at the top of the jump is converted to elastic potential energy at the bottom of the jump.

    Unit 7 Hooke’s Law Introduction This lab will test the relationship between the spring constant, k, from Hooke’s Law and the change in applied force resulting in displacement. Using two different methods, part one and two of the lab will determine the spring constant, k. In part one we will hang different masses from the spring so that we can alter the amount of force acting on it. After applying these weights, one can measure the displacement caused by this action. Hooke’s equation will yield

    CHAPTER – 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Motivation Interpretation of seismic data recorded by earthquake seismographs and that obtained in seismic reflection surveys conducted in the search for hydrocarbons presents a great challenge. The challenge lies in constructing appropriate models of the subsurface to extract as many properties of the subsurface rocks as possible and then solving the associated forward modeling problem followed by design of suitable inversion methods to extract the desired information

    The Cauchy stress principle is one of the main hypotheses in mechanics of solids. The study of linear and nonlinear wave processes is very important. Elastic waves are high-performance instrument to research strained and deformed state of solids an also to study their structure and properties. Elastic waves can propagate deeply inside the material without disturbing the material state. The elasto-dynamic problem is a challenging predicament to the modern material scientists. In the last twenty years

    Mining is a necessary component of the world we live in and it has been practiced for thousands of years. The mining industry produces billions of tons of raw product every year. The process of mining is very complicated and involves plenty of physics! Two main components of the mine cycle are: Drilling, and Blasting. Some important factors in mining are the pillars, rock elasticity, and the slope stability of the ground being mined. A basic method for destroying rock is mechanically induced

    On the other hand, soil properties are very difficult to determine because in comparison to steel and concrete, it is a lenient material, which makes it very difficult to acquire samples for testing that will produce laboratory results on the same level as its everyday behaviour. Other problems are; the type of soil affects the ability to collect representative samples eg. stiff clay is more difficult to sample than soft clay. Differences in sampling techniques in laboratories further complicate

    different physical and gas laws that take place to allow it to happen. With Hooke’s law I will be discussing what it is, how it relates to respiratory care, and the medical advances it may include. Hooke’s law was named after the man that discovered it in 1660. Robert Hooke was a 17th century physicist who discovered the relationship between the forces applied to a spring and elasticity. He published his book in 1678 that included the description of his work. Hooke’s law states that any elastic body

    Newton’s second law of motion states that that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. Hence with a constant mass, the net force caused by the springs will differ as well. I predict
