The centre of mass of an object is the point through which the weight of that object acts

in a uniform gravitational field - that is why it is often called the centre of gravity.

The Physics syllabus says it is 'that point at which the mass of the body may be thought to
be concentrated'. That is because we can draw the weight arrow (representing the weight of
the whole object) from that point. However the weight isn't really concentrated there - there is
just an even distribution of weight on either side of that point.

What is Hooke's Law explain?

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.
