Hook & Jones

Hooke’s Law describes how an elastic object, like a spring, stretches or compresses proportionally to the force applied to it—think of pulling on a rubber band and feeling resistance that increases with stretch. Jones' Law relates to the resistance an object encounters when moving through a fluid, such as air or water, where the drag force grows with the object’s speed and shape. Both laws are fundamental in physics, explaining how objects respond to forces: Hooke’s Law for elastic deformation and Jones’ Law for fluid resistance, helping us predict behavior in engineering and natural systems.
