Elasticity

• What is elastic deformation?

  When an object is stretched, it will return to its original shape after the force is taken away
• What is inelastic deformation?

  When an object is stretched, it will not return to its original shape after the force is taken away
• How can a force of a string be calculated?

  Force = spring constant * extension
• What is the limit of proportionality?

  The limit of proportionality is the point at which the relationship between two variables is no longer linear.
