How do you measure the ability of a substance to take compression? Do you use the force constant (k) of Hooke's law? F = -kx?
For example, what propoerty correlates with a trampoline's ability to take compression better than a bed?
Also, where can I find the force constant (k) of everyday items? More specificlly, I am looking for the force constant (k) of cooking corn starch, a non Newtonain fluid? Does anyone know it?
