HOOKE'S LAW Introduction In physics, Hooke's Law is one of the fundamental principles governing how objects deform under external forces . Named after the 17th-century British physicist Robert Hooke, this law provides a crucial understanding of the behavior of elastic materials, such as springs and rubber bands. Whether stretching a rubber band or compressing a spring, Hooke's Law helps explain what happens when forces act on these materials. What is Hooke's Law: Hooke's Law states that the force F needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance x is proportional to that distance. Mathematically, it is expressed as: F= -kx Here k represents the spring constant, which is the measure of the stiffness of the spring, and x is the displacement from the displacement position. The negative sign indicates that the force exerted by the spring is in the opposite direction of the displacement. Understanding the Spring Constant: The spring constant k is a critical co
BEAUTIFUL HANDS ABOUT THE POET Ellen M.H. Gates (1835-1920) was born in Torrington, Connecticut (USA). Her poems "The Home of The Soul' and "Eternity" are famous for their religious theme. ABOUT THE POEM The poem has four stanzas in it each having four couplets in it. The rhyming scheme in this poem is abcbdefe' where every last word of second verse rhymes with the last word of fourth verse and the last word of sixth and eighth verse rhymes and this is repeated in all stanzas. The theme of the poem is explicit as the title and the theme is nearly the same i.e. both show that the poetry is about the beautiful hands. Anyone reading this poem can judge easily that whose hands the poetess is referring to. In the last line of the poem, the poetess clearly says that she will clasp her mother's hand, so there is nothing implicit in it. The mood throughout the poem is serious, appreciating and also predicting one. The tone. of the poem is as if it is sighing
