The law is the stress within an elastic solid is proportional to the strain responsible for it. it has to do with the tires underneath the cars that we drive. THE END

Hooke's Law gives the relationship between the force applied to an unstretched spring and the amount the spring is stretched when the force is applied. The springs of your car absorb the motion making your ride smoother.

Hooke's law states that the spring force = -(spring constant X displacement). It deals with cars when they are driving on the roads. They have shocks on cars for bumps in the road to absorb the bump.

Hooke's law tells about the relationship between the force applied to an unstretched spring and the amount the spring is stretched with the weight applied. The struts and shocks of a car relate to this law of weights and springs.

The law is the stress within an elastic solid is proportional to the strain responsible for it, which has to do with the tires on the car. The bounceing of the tires help absorb the shock.
