MCQ
According to Hook’s law force is proportional to
  • A
    $\frac{1}{x}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{{{x^2}}}$
  • $x$
  • D
    ${x^2}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$x$
c
(c)

According to Hooke's law, within elastic limit for elastic material, material act as a spring, which reforms its shape after we deform it by some external force. Hence, a restoring force occurs

$\therefore F =- kx \quad k =$ spring constant

$\therefore F \propto x$
