Modern day applications of Hooke's 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.

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!
 
Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
Thread 'A scenario of non-uniform circular motion'
(All the needed diagrams are posted below) My friend came up with the following scenario. Imagine a fixed point and a perfectly rigid rod of a certain length extending radially outwards from this fixed point(it is attached to the fixed point). To the free end of the fixed rod, an object is present and it is capable of changing it's speed(by thruster say or any convenient method. And ignore any resistance). It starts with a certain speed but say it's speed continuously increases as it goes...
Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
