Extension is proportional to force

If the force applied to a spring is doubled, what happens to the extension?

It doubles

What is the limit of proportionality?

Point where linear relationship breaks

What is the elastic limit?

Max stretch to return to original shape

What happens when the elastic limit is exceeded?

Permanent deformation occurs

F=kxF = kx

In F=kxF = kx, what does kk represent?

Spring constant

What are the units of spring constant kk?

Nm1Nm^{-1}

On a force-extension graph, what does the gradient of the linear section equal?

kk (spring constant)

What behaviour is shown in the non-linear region of a force-extension graph?

Plastic behaviour

What does a force-extension graph look like for a brittle material?

Just linear with no non-linear section
