Which one of the following statements concerning Hooke's law is false?

A. Hooke's law relates stress and strain.


B Hooke's law is valid only for springs.


C. Hooke's haw can be verified experimentally.


D. Hooke's law can be applied to a wide range of materials.


E. Hooke's law is valid only within the elastic limit of a given material





I think it is B just looking for some verification.


Which one of the following statements concerning Hooke's law is false?
BWhich one of the following statements concerning Hooke's law is false?
D is incorrect


From wikipedia....


';In mechanics, and physics, Hooke's law of elasticity is an approximation that states that the extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the load added to it as long as this load does not exceed the elastic limit. Materials for which Hooke's law is a useful approximation are known as linear-elastic or ';Hookean'; materials.';
