For Hooke’s Law, F = kx, the spring constant, k, describes the force required to deform a spring. For a three-dimensional object, we can generalize Hooke’s Law to describe the stress required to strain a material: where stress can be written as a [9x1] tensor, strain can also be written as a [9x1] tensor, and E is an “elasticity” tensor, which is analogous to our spring constant. How many elements, n, in the elasticity tensor are required to satisfy the rules of matrix multiplication? Give a reason why fewer unique parameters than n populate the elasticity tensor. An example of the stress tensor is given below:

Hooke’s Law states that the force required to maintain a spring stretched x units beyond its natural length is proportional to x, i.e. f(x) = kx where k is a positive constant. Suppose that 4 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length 10 cm to a length of 36 cm. Find the exact value of work needed to stretch the spring from 15 cm to 28 cm.
Vibrational Motion Introduction If an object is following Hooke’s Law, then Fnet = -kx = ma Since acceleration is the second derivative of position with respect to time, the relationship can be written as the differential equation: kx = m δ2xδt2/{"version":"1.1","math":"<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>k</mi><mi>x</mi><mo> </mo><mo>=</mo><mo> </mo><mi>m</mi><mo> </mo><mfrac bevelled="true"><mrow><msup><mi>δ</mi><mn>2</mn></msup><mi>x</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>δ</mi><msup><mi>t</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow></mfrac></math>"} Methods for solving differential equations are beyond the scope of this course; in fact, a class in differential equations is usually a requirement for a degree in engineering or physics.
