Applications Hooke's law Law

AI Thread Summary

Hooke's Law is widely applied in various modern technologies, particularly in the design of springs and elastic materials. It is crucial in devices like galvanometers, which measure electrical current by utilizing the principle of elasticity. Additionally, Hooke's Law is relevant in fields such as mechanical engineering, where it helps in analyzing stress and strain in materials. The law also finds applications in areas like automotive suspension systems and seismic engineering. Overall, Hooke's Law remains a fundamental principle in understanding and designing systems that involve stretching and compressing materials.

A big application of hooks law is galvanometer!

Thread 'Light speedup question'

If light travels in a wave, couldn't we "speed it up" by making it travel in a straight line?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
