Hooke's law: Encyclopedia II - Hooke's law - Spring equation

The most commonly encountered form of Hooke's law is probably the spring equation, which relates the force exerted by a spring to the distance it is stretched by a spring constant, k, measured in force per length. F = − kx The negative sign indicates that the force exerted by the spring is in direct opposition to the direction of displacement. It is called a "restoring force", as it tends to restore the system to equilibrium. The potential energy stor ...

Compressive stress is the stress applied to materials resulting in their compaction (decrease of volume). When a material is subjected to compressive stress then this material is under compression. Usually compressive stress applied to bars, columns, etc. leads to shortening. Loading a structural element or a specimen will increase the compressive stress until the reach of compressive strength. According to the properties of the material, failure will occur as yield for materials with ductile behaviour (most metals, some soils and plastics) or as rupture for ...

Hooke's law: Encyclopedia - Tension

Tension may mean: In physics, tension is a force on a body directed to produce strain (extension); it can be considered to be negative compression. It is measured in according units (newton, dynes, pounds-force, etc). Tension is the dominant static force acting on such objects as a vibrating string or a stretched rubber band. Hooke's law states the relation between the stress on an object and the resultant increase in its length. The modulus of elasticity of a spring or elastic string can be use ...

Hooke's law: Encyclopedia - De motu corporum in gyrum

De motu corporum in gyrum (On the motion of bodies in an orbit) is a manuscript by Isaac Newton sent to Edmund Halley in November 1684. It derived the three laws of Kepler assuming an inverse square law of force, and generalized the answer to conic sections. It tried to set out the foundations of modern dynamics and extended its methodology by adding to the derivation of Kepler's laws the solution of a problem on the motion of a body through a resisting medium. Halley reported these results to the Royal Society on 1684-12-10 (J ...

Hooke's law: Encyclopedia - Child safety lock

A child safety lock is a special-purpose device for locking cabinets, drawers, bottles, etc. to prevent children from getting at the dangerous contents. Young children are naturally curious about their surroundings and will always explore, but as they do not have knowledge of dangerous substances or situations, the results can be fatal. Numerous cases of poisoning have resulted from toddlers eati ...

Hooke's law: Encyclopedia - Business model

A business model (also called a business design) is the mechanism by which a business intends to generate revenue and profits. It is a summary of how a company plans to serve its customers. It involves both strategy and implementation. It is the totality of how a business: Selects its customers Defines and differentiates its product offerings Creates utility for its customers Acquires and keeps customers Goes to the market (promotion strategy and distribution strategy) Defines the tasks to be performed Con ...

Hooke's law: Encyclopedia - Robert

The name Robert means "bright fame", derived from the Germanic elements hrod (fame) and beraht (bright). The Normans introduced this name to Britain. It belonged to three kings of Scotland, including Robert the Bruce who restored the independence of Scotland from England in the 14th century. The name may be shortened to the nicknames Robby/Robbie/Rabbie (in Scotland), Robban (Sweden), Bob/Bobbers/Bobby/Bobert, and Rob. The dutch form is Robbert. The Italian form of the name, Roberto, became ideologically motivated in the time of the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis, from the name of the three capitals: ...

Hooke's law: Encyclopedia - Gravitation

Gravitation is the tendency of objects with mass to accelerate toward each other. There have been numerous theories of gravitation starting with the ideas of the Greek philosopher Aristotle in the 4th century BC. He believed that there is no effect without a cause, and therefore no motion without a force. He concluded that all things tried to move toward their proper place in the crystalline spheres of the heavens, and that bodies fell toward the center of the Earth in proportion to their weight. During the 16t ...

Hooke's law: Encyclopedia II - Benjamin Hooks - Law career

Upon graduation Dr. Hooks immediately returned to his native Memphis. By this time he was thoroughly committed to breaking down the practices of racial segregation that existed in the United States. Fighting prejudice at every turn, he passed the Tennessee bar exam and set up his own law practice. “At that time you were insulted by law clerks, excluded from white bar associations and when I was in court, I was lucky to be called Ben,” he recalled in an interview with Jet magazine. “Usually it was just ‘boy.’ [But] the judges ...
