The detailed activity guide in this kit, along with its tape measure, colorful plastic hex weights, and spring scale, will show and explain to you how to make a scale that is capable of weighing a number of common household objects through the use of Hooke's Law. Named after the 17th century British physicist Robert Hooke, he first stated his law in 1660 as a Latin anagram. He didn't publish the solution until 18 years later. Hooke's Law, a principle of physics, states that the force that is needed to extend, or compress, a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance. Despite t hat generalization, rubber is actually considered to be "non-Hookean", as its elasticity is both dependent and sensitive to the temperature and loading rate.
