1. In the lecture, the key idea about elasticity is that many solid objects behave like a spring when stressed. Just like solid objects, realistic springs do not obey Hooke's law forever. If pulled on hard enough, they reach a point of permanent deformation. Ultimate strength Yield strength Stress (F/A) 0 Rupture Range of permanent deformation Linear (elastic) range Strain (AL/L) We noted that Hooke's law for a force due to a spring F₁(x) = −k(x − xo) where xo is the equilibrium position of the spring, is a conservative force. Is the realistic spring force (one that looks like the figure above) a conser- vative force? Explain.
