I have found a website which claims that rubber bands obey a force law
[tex]F=-kT(x-\frac{1}{x^2})[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{L}{L_0}[/tex]
While this is similar to Hooke's Law in the sense that it *almost* approaches it for large values of x, it is also quite different. Can anyone confirm or deny the formula's reliability? Thanks.
