This document defines key concepts related to the deformation of solids under stress. It provides the formulas for calculating stress as force over cross-sectional area and strain as the change in length over original length. Hooke's law states that within the elastic limit, extension is directly proportional to applied force. Other terms defined include Young's modulus, elasticity, force constant, and the definitions of stress and strain.

Stress = F/A (F=Force, A=cross-sectional area) Strain = e/l (e= extension, l=original length) Force = F = ke (Hooke’s Law, k= force constant) Young’s modulus, E = Stress/Strain = Fl / Ae Force constant, k = F/e = AE / l STRESS AND STRAIN (DEFINITION) 1. Hooke’s Law – Within the elastic limit, the extension e is directly proportional to the force applied. 2. Elasticity – The property of a body which enables the body to regain its original shape with the removal of the deforming force. 3. Young’s Modulus – The product of stress and strain. (Elastic property of a material) 4. Force constant – The force needed to produce unit extension in the wire. 5. Stress - Force that produces strain on a physical body. 6. Strain - Deformation of a physical body under the action of applied forces.
