    How Does Stretching a Polymer Relate to Hooke's Law?

    The question tells me that some experiments have shown that the force needed to stretch a polymer molecule by an amount (Δl) is given approximately by: F= (kBT/P)*((1/4)*(Lo2/(L-Δl)2-(1/4)+(Δl/L)) Yea, I know, nasty looking. Anywho: F = Force T = Temp. kB = Boltzmann's Constant P =...
