What are the Modern day applications of Hooke's Law?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What applications can you think of where a piece of metal would stretch or compress?
 
Dear one of ma friends told me that Hooke's law is used extensively in Quantum Mechanics.
 
But want to know more about the applications ov Hooke's law in modern day technology.
 
A big application of hooks law is galvanometer!
