Which force is responsible for the elastic nature of a body?

Restoring force

What is the difference between deforming force and restoring force?

If this results in change in the configuration of length, volume or shape of the body then the force applied is called as deforming force. The force which restores the size and shape of the body when deformation forces are removed is called restoring force .

What is the meaning of restoring force?

In physics, the restoring force is a force which acts to bring a body to its equilibrium position. The restoring force is a function only of position of the mass or particle, and it is always directed back toward the equilibrium position of the system. The restoring force is often referred to in simple harmonic motion.

What is Hooke’s Law in physics?

Mathematically, Hooke’s law states that the applied force F equals a constant k times the displacement or change in length x, or F = kx. Hooke’s law describes the elastic properties of materials only in the range in which the force and displacement are proportional. (See deformation and flow.)

Is Hooke’s Law negative?

Hooke’s Law is usually written with a negative sign on the right hand side, so k is positive and then F is the force exerted BY the spring, (opposite to the displacement).

What affects force constant?

The magnitude of the force constant k depends upon the nature of the chemical bond in molecular systems just as it depends on the nature of the spring in mechanical systems. The larger the force constant, the stiffer the spring or the stiffer the bond.

What factors influence spring force?

The spring constant can be determined based on four parameters:

• Wire diameter: the diameter of the wire comprising the spring.
• Coil diameter: the diameter of each coil, measuring the tightness of the coil.
• Free length: the length of the spring when at rest.

What is forced vibration?

Forced vibration is a type of vibration in which a force is repeatedly applied to a mechanical system. Forced vibration is when an alternating force or motion is applied to a mechanical system, for example when a washing machine shakes due to an imbalance.
